Positive news about Corona Virus Updates

The biggest risk to me with supermarkets has never been it being on surfaces or trolleys, more that its the amount of people all in one place. If it was spreading easily through surfaces, it would have a much much higher contagion rate than it does. I think you have to be very very unlucky to catch it that way, especially if people are also washing their hands more often.

You've misread. It's 2 separate points. 1 - it's not transferring via surfaces and 2- its not transferring via shopping.

I was agreeing with point one. On point two, I think it would be bad luck just from being near someone who was infected who sneezed or coughed at the wrong time. If it's transmitting human to human though, there is always some risk attached be it shopping or hairdressing.

No proof coronavirus can be spread while shopping, says leading German virologist
Initial findings suggest virus may be less easily transmitted than thought



In his research, Prof Streeck said the home of an infected family his team visited "did not have any live virus on any surface" including on phones, door knobs or even the pet cat's fur.

He told German TV "there are no proven infections while shopping or at the hairdresser" and that Germany's "patient zero" only infected her colleagues and not other guests or diners at the hotel where she was staying.

"The virus spreads in other places: the party in Ischgl, the club in Berlin, the football game in Bergamo," he said.

"We know it's not a smear infection that is transmitted by touching objects, but that close dancing and exuberant celebrations have led to infections."

That would mean at the very least, we could lift a lot of restrictions after the first lockdown without a big secondary explosion.

Having spent the morning disinfecting the weekly shop that would be great news if true.
