It's still 50x-100x more infectious than HIV, because of the very high concentrations of it in bodily fluids. This combined with its very long lived potency out of the body makes for much easier infection. In theory, you could drink from a glass and leave the virus in saliva on the rim. If nobody cleans the glass, and five days later someone with bleeding gums drinks out of it, it's still infectious.
