Or literally billions of other ways. That’s the thing, people spreading it when they don’t even know they have it. I’d bet the infected is closer to a million or more. We only know those that have been tested

Tsa touching your ID.

cockpit seat adjustments

seatbelt buckle or the belt itself

I’m wiping everything anyone else has touched best I can. Then when I get to the hotel my bag handles and everything in my pockets gets Clorox wipe along with the door handles light switches and surfaces I place my things on.

When I get home same procedure plus bag gets a Lysol spray. Shoes have never come inside anyway bc that’s just gross. Then I go wash my hands and face at a minimum before seeing anyone. Hard to tell my kids to not hug me when I come in the door.

If one has it pretty hard to not pass it to your immediate family with our close contact. I can try and prevent it hitchhiking in on my belongings. Also knowing we are at much higher risk of being carriers bc of my job we are actually doing our part and taking the distancing seriously. Getting calls for play dates and family hangouts but keep saying no because I don’t want to unknowingly give it to someone that either gets very ill or infects their family member that gets very or deathly ill. I could easily drink some beers with a neighbor in the front yard but the dang kids don’t know what 6 ft means.
