@SmithDanaG explains what we now know about the primary pathways of transmission
The virus is quite fragile, and doesn’t like being out in the open where it can dry up.
It’s critical to keep washing hands, but Emanuel Goldman, PhD says you don’t have to do anything excessive like disinfecting groceries.
Close contact with others raises the risk of exposure to small droplets they expel by talking, breathing, etc. A virus inside a fresh droplet is more likely to be alive and infectious than one that’s been sitting on a doorknob.
Some experts were hesitant at first to say so partly to avoid alarming the public. But recent papers provide what some have called the “smoking gun”: live, replicating virus collected from the air of Covid-19 patient hospital rooms.
