Many colds spread by fomites, so masking and distancing and all that will do fuck all. The flu doesn’t spread this way, so I do hope the culture of isolation continues for those with the flu and we at least massively reduce the spread there.
- maxerickson 4y agoWait, why do you think distancing won't slow transmission of infections that spread by surface contact? If you are sick and don't sneeze on a stair railing because you aren't near the stair railing, then you very likely have less transmission. Same with masks, if the material is captured in a mask then it isn't sitting somewhere else waiting to be picked up.
- VirusNewbie 4y agoI mean distancing in the sense of standing six feet apart or only one person in the elevator.
