Re: If Gillum won......

Yeah, you can't 100% avoid hand contact.

I go to a store and take something off a shelf and put it in my basket. Somewhere along the line something I bought might have been previously been touched by a covid-positive person and then put back on the shelf.

So now I might have this slightly covid-contaminated item in my basket. The bagger touches it with her gloved hand, so now she can pass the bit of covid on to all my other purchases. Or she can contaminate something of mine from a prior purchase that she touched.

Then I go home and thoroughly wash my hands, and only then do I put stuff away in the fridge. But it's still potentially ever so slightly contaminated - I don't wipe down every food item before putting it away.

And we know 40 degrees F doesn't kill covid. So 12 hours later I take it out of the fridge, and once again my hands might be ever so slightly contaminated.

If this were like some nerve agent the Russians use to kill people, we'd all be dead by now.

And meanwhile, people go to parties, bars, and restaurants, and never touch anyone else, and end up sick.
