Bob:

I think it is a little more complicated.

Breathing is a more effective method of transmission, absolutely no doubt about that.

Touching is a less effective method, but since we touch so many surfaces that increases the likelihood of getting it from surfaces.

During the 1918 epidemic people started to get very serious about the social distancing thing, but the mail kept spreading the disease....

It is all probabilities....the virus will get you a lot of different ways.

I agree...it just seemed like everyone thought they had it figured out, when it was pretty obvious that they were missing the elephant in the living room.

By the way, my Asian sources tell me that the air is much, much, cleaner there. Finally!
