On April 5, however, the CDC page was replaced “In most situations, the risk of infection from touching a surface is low.” Oh is that so?
The link goes to the following:
Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) studies have been conducted to understand and characterize the relative risk of SARS-CoV-2 fomite transmission and evaluate the need for and effectiveness of prevention measures to reduce risk. Findings of these studies suggest that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection via the fomite transmission route is low, and generally less than 1 in 10,000, which means that each contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection.
Whoops.
So much for the many billions spent on cleaning products, the employees and the time, and hysteria and frenzy, the rise of touchlessness, and gloves, the dousing of the whole world. The science apparently changed. Still it will be years before people get the news and act on it. Once the myths of surface transmission of a respiratory virus are unleashed, it will be hard to go back to normal.
Fortunately the New York Times did some accurate reporting on the CDC update, quoting all kinds of experts who claim to have known this all along.
“Finally,” said Linsey Marr, an expert on airborne viruses at Virginia Tech. “We’ve known this for a long time and yet people are still focusing so much on surface cleaning.” She added, “There’s really no evidence that anyone has ever gotten Covid-19 by touching a contaminated surface.”
Still, I’m willing to bet that if right now I headed to a WalMart or some other large chain store, there will be several employees dedicated to disinfecting everything they can, and there will be customers there who demand it to be so.

I’m happy to say I didn’t buy one milligram of cleaning product during this whole scam.
Gramps’ drank his.
Ditto.
Do you live in a pigsty? How do you go a year without buying some Simple Green, some Windex, some carpet cleaner, and the like?
It’s been a couple months, but the hand wipe dispensers at the major food stores have disappeared here. They have known about this.
Fear. The list of things they have used to control the sheeple keeps increasing.
You need to CLARIFY when dealing with FReepers nowadays...’you didn’t buy any additional cleaning product as a result of Branch Covidian hysteria’ during this whole scam.
“Once the myths of surface transmission of a respiratory virus are unleashed, it will be hard to go back to normal.”
That is the problem with safety measures, once begun in view of some unquantified risk, who will be the first to take certain risk in saying they are not required? “Seat belts save lives.” Who can argue with that? How many will no longer leave the house without their cell phone?
It always does.
Unfortunately, the left has rendered the term, "THE SCIENCE" useless (except as a cudgel with which to beat conservatives and charge them with knuckle-dragin-itis).
Science that is based on repeatable evidence is useful. "Science" that has an agenda costs a fortune, ruins lives and achieves only political ends.
Shameful!
What on earth is Simple Green ?
.
Yes, because all the idiot cowards hoarded it and the idiot companies stopped MAKING certain products to focus all on COVID stuff.

Hermits who don't watch TV "news" are looking better by the day.

Simple Green is an ‘earth-friendly’ cleaning product. A gal who cleaned for us when we were working swore by it.

Neither did I.
To make a hand sanitizer we ALWAYS carry in the car (years before WuFlu) & only use sometimes, I put 70% alcohol in a small (8 oz) spray bottle, add a squirt of aloe vera gel (to keep the alcohol from ‘eating’ your hands) & a drop of dish detergent is good, too. Cheap to make & I like cheap.
Since doing this (for years) we have had no cases of flu in our family. Sometimes, your hands are just dirty after leaving a store so having cleaner in the car comes in handy on occasion.
A general purpose cleaner. Popular in our auto parts store. I think it’s pretty heavy duty. Wouldn’t generally clean regular home stuff with it. That’s 409.
But 409 was pulled from production because apparently the company concentrated all effort on other products ostensibly better for COVID. Sigh. It’s back, now. Thank God.
Gee, I might be able to find some purple heavy duty Clorox cleaning wipes NEXT year.
