And, really, that makes sense. People keep talking about how transmissible this is, but it's still 1 case leading to at most 3.5 more. If it could linger for days on surfaces and anyone who touched that same surface was getting sick, that number would be a lot higher. Transmission is by far the most likely from sharing close quarters, where you're guaranteed to be breathing in the carrier's exhalations.

I'm sorry, but can you get it from simply breathing in air from a carrier? What I've read is that there needs to be droplets, i.e., coughing or sneezing, and that simply breathing the same air is insufficient. I know there is moisture in the air we exhale but would that carry the virus and is that sufficient enough to catch the infection? I don't know and now I need to know.
