I’ve seen a lot of claims lately that coronavirus doesn’t spread on surfaces, and therefore we can stop worrying about packages (and probably takeout food, even uncooked?).
My understanding of the claim is something like “we just haven’t actually seen any evidence of surface transmission, despite the entire world paying attention, therefore it probably doesn’t happen.”
It’s a bit trickier to prove a negative, but can anyone who either strongly believes that covid can’t spread via surfaces, or who believes that it can (at least sometimes), write up the reasons for their beliefs?
