michael adams submitted this idea :
So they wash/clean their hands how often ?

Every time they touch something ?

Otherwise what's the point ?

Or is the claim that frequent washing of the hands somehow
builds up immunity for future touches ?

Idea is if you have touched a suspect surface,

And how exactly do you identify a suspect surface ?

Aren't all surfaces in public places susceptible to
contamination by potential carriers ?

That's the point.

The virus can last on hard surfaces for up to ten
minutes and so the coughers and sneezers could be
well gone before you come on the scene, leaving all
their spores behind.

Maybe you have to carry a backpack of the stuff around with
you like they do with weedkiller sprays.

As It happens while walking along the road this morning I
saw my first

" Woman at a bus stop getting out a bottle of pink stuff from
her bag and rubbing her hands with it". Presumably *before
getting on a bus*.

I was almost tempted to walk over the road, join the queue
behind her and start coughing loudly.

As it happens because of the exposure and proximity values
which have been suggested, 15 mins 2 metres the supposition
now is that a lot of contamination will actually take place
within families.
