Yes, but the longer it lasts the higher that chance becomes. Essentially to infect yourself from surface transmission you gotta stick your finger in your nose or mouth or something.

Thanks for the link. It's all a bit over my head but I'll give it a go.

Because what the fuck do you think is the main reason the odds of contracting Covid from surface contact are low in the first place?

This may come as a shock to you, but I asked the question in perfectly good faith. It took me a year and a lot of self-convincing to get to the point where I wasn't blowing money on alcohol wipes scrubbing every single surface that'd come in contact with the outside world. I'm only now starting to feel okay with going out for a jog after work (and subsequently getting sweat rolling down my face and near my nose and mouth) instead of hopping straight into the shower.

So if you have some knowledge to impart upon me that could help me better understand the situation and better keep myself and those around me safe, please shove your unnecessary hostility back up the same ass from whence you pulled it and just say what you mean plainly.
