Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 3515015, member: 1245"] In New Hampshire we had 669 cases in total as of yesterday, 147 had recovered, and 92 had been hospitalized of which a few had died. All but a small percentage of the cases have been people that had traveled or that were in contact with other people that are known to have had the disease. I think it was something like all but 20 of the last hundred or so cases that they were not able to isolate an assumed source, and therefore label it a 'community transmission'. As a respiratory disease, that suggests that masks, social distancing, and limiting other human respiratory contact is a big preventative. We know that the virus can live on surfaces, but is there really any evidence that anybody has gotten the disease by touching packaging, or golf cart steering wheels etc or, is all this sanitation just a precaution because we don't know?
