The AIER reports on the latest CDC acknowledgement that the virus does not significantly infect people from the touching of random surfaces. The risk is now apparently assessed as "less than one in ten thousand" - whatever that may mean, but at least they have now put an upper limit on it.

So all you good people can stand down on spraying disinfectant everywhere - it isn't in general going to do any good, and prolonged exposure may be harmful.

I hope that "the media" will do their duty and give this report the publicity that it deserves, but I'm not placing any bets . . .
