The prime vector is airborn droplets indoors. Especially confined indoor spaces with poor ventilation. This covers many offices, factories, homes, movie theaters, sports arenas. I think surface transmission is exaggerated. You will not get Covid by touching items in a store.
Covid has a very very poor chance of infecting you outdoors. Even at a crowded park or beach. The enemies of Covid transmission are sunlight, breeze and micro-breezes
BTW I read that Wuhan had a very overcast January, when Covid really spread.
Vitamin D is a Covid enemy.
That's correct. Unless you touch your mouth or your eyes, that is. And most of us can't avoid doing that.
I must disagree. Of course I refrain from touching my eyes and mouth when I am out and about. Just to be sure. But if I go into a number of stores and touch many items I am not going to pick up any Covid or it will be a bare minimum. Meaning not enough to harm me. Now if an infected shopper picked up an item and sneezed onto it...I can see Covid transmission there is high if I pick it up and start touching my eyes. But how many are sneezing onto items as they shop? Maybe breathing onto some...

I am wearing a mask every time I go out to stores and finding myself getting more and more annoyed at those who don't.
The folks that don't take precautions are going to pay. I've read what this virus can do to a person. It will attack you in many ways - Survivors are saying it was their worse experience ever. People need to realize that is not just the flu.
This is the point I have been trying to make. Why won't people wear a mask? Selfishness, stupidity, following the lead of the President? What is it?
As someone who survived, trust me, it IS NOT THE FLU.

That is correct. But it is not always the right vaccine since the type of influenza viruses changes. Every year about 2,000 people in Sweden dies from the annual flue.

You're taking it for granted that no one sneezed in his/her hand and touched the goods. I can't afford taking that risk. There are idiots everywhere, unfortunately.

No offense - but don't gloves spread the virus as well?

Let's face the fact, some countries are not performing as well as others, simply because they are not able to protect their elderly properly. Further, these elderly, completely helpless, are now left to die without any contacts with those who love them the most. It is a disgrace

Never a big fan of buffets, but now I doubt I will ever eat from one again, even post virus.

I miss my Whole Foods salad bar. They just opened in my area fairly recently & I was eating there a few times a week. I'd go when the store opened in the morning before anyone had been there. I'm usually only able to really eat once a day, if that because of meds. I live by myself & if I buy all the ingredients I end up throwing away a lot. They even had salmon a lot of days! I totally get the logic though & I wouldn't be eating that even if it were available.

What made the Spanish Flu go away in 1918-1920? Do these virus cells have their own life spans?

BTW, I had corona, I made the test, 1 month ago. But for me, it was just like the flu or something. I stayed home for 2 weeks, then it was over, and luckily I never passed it on to others. But I'm only 39 and in decent health. So it's very different for people. But I hear about other people, even in their 20s, who feel like they are dying.
