CDC: You Can Stop With the Deep Cleaning and Hygiene Theater
The Centers for Disease Control confirmed today what epidemiologists have been saying for at least eight months, which is you don t need to keep disinfecting surfaces and decontaminating your groceries because the coronavirus doesn t spread by surface contact.
This is not to say that it is never possible for a person to get COVID-19 from a contaminated surface, but experts have said there has not yet been a confirmed case of this, and most agree that the chances of such an infection are very, very slim. Hand-washing is still encouraged, sure and other diseases spread this way so why not? But, as of Thursday, the CDC may finally be putting an end to the need for the sort of hygiene theater that many, many businesses are still performing.
