Surfaces are not clean enough to "catch and contain" the 2/10,000 visitor contaminating surfaces.
Even though surface contamination is an HIGHLY unlikely transmission method. of this sticky, fragile, 6-nanometer protein-capsuled RNA strand. Comparable to the age-old "getting pregnant from a Toilet seat" bologna.
1/2 of shoppers NOT wearing masks and yapping away like a bunch of chickens as women do
I do not have
SARS-CoV-2, and neither does my bag.
I bag my own at self check out.
Ban Non-mask wearers. Aerosol is 99%+ of transmission method.
Get tough or forget
ANY prophylaxis.
Enough Silliness and Stupidity.
As mentioned earlier, you don't know if you have the virus as you can transmit it 2 days before symptoms show or you may be asymptomatic. Fomite transmission is a concern by the CDC and WHO and there are many other articles about it. I'm not sure you can actually cite anything that says 99% unlikely from fomite transmission. You are right about all those other methods, which is why there's a need to use hand sanitizer right after visiting the store. But it's not an all or nothing approach, even if attempts are not 100% it's still better than nothing and some attempt at education is better than none even if it doesn't take. The lowly educated is still a valid survey group!

The CDC now says that it does not spread easily through contaminated surfaces
