So, the notion that you have to be “digging around” in a sick/dead patient’s blood, feces, urine, saliva, teardrops, etc. is a bit naive, IMHO. Apparently, it doesn’t take much contact with bodily fluids, and it can be transmitted via very casual contact, like carrying a pregnant woman with the disease to a taxi, or decontaminating a chair. And to claim that it’s not airborne, as if the virus dies suddenly when mucus/saliva is forcefully expelled from the body by a cough or sneeze, seems a bit too optimistic.[/quote]
Digging around? Who said anything about “digging around?”
I wouldn’t call carrying somebody or decontaminating a chair “very casual contact.”
To claim it’s not airborne seems optimistic? Based on what? Your uneducated anecdote about how it might spread if someone sneezes?[/quote]
Decontaminating a chair isn’t “causal contact”? Then what is casual contact, in your opinion? And if someone can pick up this disease by touching an object that was touched by a sick person (supposedly, it can live on a surface for many days), what makes you think it can’t live in the air when someone coughs or sneezes in your face?
