Er... Please tell me tax money wasn't wasted on this study. We all joke about it, but come on, are you really telling me someone wasted money studying this? We all know germ transfer is fairly immediate. My whole family spends much of our time filthy from living on and operating a farm, and I n your average shoes off household, you're less likely to get sick eating something that just fell on the floor than you are to get sick. That's not to say you won't get sick, it's also not to say that what you catch won't be fatal, but really... we all laugh and joke and yell "5 second rule!" before knowingly taking our lives in our own hands and guess what? So far, we're still all here and so far we spend a lot less time sick than many people we know. We know the 5 second rule is bullshit, we don't need a study to tell us that, we're not idiots. Some people are into adrenaline sports and driving wrecklessly, we play 5 second rule Russian roulette. It's good for your immune system, until it kills you.
