If your "button theory" is true we have a real problem if this is let loose in American communities. Especially, considering the ability of the virus to stay alive for extended periods of time on surfaces.

On another note, haven't we been told that it takes a good amount of the virus to actually infect someone?

A soda machine may not be a problem, but the hospital bed controls, on the other hand...

A workstation or keyboard too. I was thinking the other day when I was doing some shopping, the sheer amount of people, say, a Wal Mart cashier comes into contact with. Granted it is not close cotact but it can be close enough for a dozen or so throughout a shift to probably be in the wrong line at the wrong time.

I was also thinking that many of these folks working in these service type jobs (who come into contact with large amounts of people) are the people who.

1. Many times don't get paid if they don't work
2. Live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to not work, will continue trying to go into work long enough to infect others.
