Yeah, so basically people need to stop obsessing over face masks and other BS as the bottom line is one just has to be cautious of where there hands have been before touching their face (I get it's best not to touch ones face at all(like the doctor said) but since many of us have a habit of touching our faces randomly, at least we can just keep our hands clean after leaving the house and coming back to the house etc).
but for years now if I am out at say a grocery store like Walmart as I leave there, pretty much as soon as I get back home I wash my hands and probably shortly after unpacking everything etc as this way when I do touch my face, which I am sure it's a habit for many of us, my risks of getting it should be minimal even if the stuff I had touched had COVID-19 on it. besides... you can just feel the grime/dirt etc on your hands after getting groceries and I like to have reasonably clean hands when I can. so it's just a habit for me to wash my hands after handing groceries etc.
but what I am wondering is say one grabs some groceries at a store with COVID-19 on it, are the backside of ones hand still reasonably safe? ; because if I got infected with COVID-19 that would probably be the way I would be most likely to catch it through touch. because I got a habit during certain times of the year where my nose is a bit runny, which I kind of assume is some sort of allergy, and since I don't always have access to Kleenex facial tissue to blow my nose, I find myself occasionally using the backside tip area (finger nail area) of my left and right hands middle finger (or occasionally knuckle area) to flick off the watery drainage (like the left side of my nose I use the backside of my right hands middle-finger and the right side of my nose ill use the backside of my left hands middle-finger) and the tiny amount(which is watery, not snot etc) still left on the backside tip of my middle finger I just wipe the excess on my pants. because if I was going to get it from hand to face contact, that would likely be my personal highest risk situation I suspect.
but anyways, the hands to face stuff aside for a moment... even if there is about a 1% chance say someone gets it in the air, it's not something that's going to spread like wild-fire through the air. so people getting it must not be cautious of where there hands have been and then touching their face and it somehow gets into their eyes/nose/mouth.
p.s. I should also note that what I quoted there with the doctor is pretty much a word-for-word copy as I omitted minor stuff like him saying 'um' and other minor things like that, so that it reads better. but it's pretty much a word-for-word copy. but for those who want to see it themselves I am sure you can look up that episode on YouTube as all of that text I typed up is all within the first 4 minutes or so of that episode. so no one can claim I am putting out false info etc since it's directly from a doctor on the front lines in New York which gives him more credibility since he's likely dealing with it more than most others doctors will.
