Oh no I dint mean as a risk to yourself , I mean since it is in your building you could potentially be carrying it , would you then self quarantine yourself under the assumption? Or would you only do that if you were actually sick
?
Backward?
If its my building then why would it effect my going out (unless this "someone" is a wife / friend etc)
I would guess most people do not even see a tenth of the people who live in their buildings
Now if flip side someone at the SP building was sick and you saw something posted etc then yeah bail
Its only communicable when you are coughing otherwise it wont spread
It could be on any surface like the elevator buttons or door handles for example,and then if you touch your face after all of a sudden the coronavirus is on your face. Also if someone sneezes or coughs in the elevator the coronavirus particles can stay airborne and linger in the air for Up to 10 minutes.
Coro does not live outside the host
So things like door handles / elevators etc are safe
Now if someone sneezes or coughs run
Well every source whether it be real news or fake news has repeatedly said that the virus survives on surfaces for up to three days depending on what the surface is made out of, otherwise there would be no point washing our hands and avoiding touching our faces. There would also be no point for the cleaners going around disinfecting all the public places
The CDC said it’s “possible” to catch the virus this way and the WHO says “These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth.”
Sick people also blow their nose or cough into their hands, then touch these public objects without first washing their hands.
I feel like I’m arguing with a brick wall here who refuses to comprehend something that should be common sense.
If you think it’s safe you should go to the public washrooms and subways and touch the much used water faucet handles and standing poles then lick your fingers.
Agreed, not much is known about the virus which apparently has already mutated making vaccine development more difficult. Therefor universal precautions such handwashing, barriers, avoiding crowds and disinfecting potential contaminated surfaces cannot hurt. The vast majority of people who have this illness may have no idea how they got it and at this point we are just buying time in efforts to slow the spread of this pandemic.
