@revenant Thanks for that, yeah paywalls are the worst.
Well the article says it doesn't spread [b]easily[/b], but it still spreads.
Still good news anyway, it was already known to us because otherwise we wouldn't have seen such a drastic fall of cases here in Veneto, where we've been implementing a public masking policy since much earlier (when the WHO still said it was useless, lol).

@JollyRoger Yes, but reduced chances of getting it from surfaces vs droplets means it's not as easy as we previously speculated. Even because if it was, the lock-down wouldn't have helped much, I know very few who sterilize any and every product before storing them or even consuming them at home. I wonder who sterilizes, say, a delivered pizza.

@Elessar Cardboard (paper) is supposed to only have a 4 minute retention time. (who really knows??)

@JollyRoger Plenty of stuff are not wrapped in cardboard, but plastic.

Whoa up!!!
Who's spreading this CRAP? 1/ not spread via surfaces = CRAP
2/ just not as infectious = CRAP
All that's changed is that the CDC has been able to produce some statistics to show where the virus has been and done its worst and because of than, the people in that area are LIKELY to be [b]less [/b]affected in the future because of neighbourhood immunity - which simply means that if the neighbour has had it, that same neighbour won't be a threat to carry it again. THUS, the numbers of potential carriers diminishes. BUT: IF you encounter someone who hasn't had the virus = probably a friend of yours, the potential is still there if that person has come in contact with some other virus carrier. That encounter would then make you a potential virus carrier too. But you wouldn't know that until the virus incubates in you and you become sick (or get tested).
GET IT? PLAY IT SAFE!

@revenant Actually over here they reopened, since our numbers are much better compared to a few months ago (keep in mind the outbreak started earlier here as well, and we had one of the tightest lockdown, with most people cooperating and taking guidelines seriously). We'll see within the end of the next week if the numbers go up again - if they don't, and I hope they won't, everything will stay open.
Life in Italy is pretty much back to normality at the moment, with masking and distances of course, but so far we're doing fine and can't complain much. 🤞
I'm enjoying cycling in the meanwhile 😊 https://similarworlds.com/10-Hobbies/3329035-Well-bike-trips-are-now-allowed-regionally

@revenant I know, we've been the first to be hit unfortunately. But at least it seems like the worst is behind us, at this point.
Oh, it already did! The earliest attempt for reopening has started now 3 weeks ago, and the curve has kept going down. Since this week restaurants, pubs, hairdressers, gyms and pretty much almost every activity have resumed operation (with safety rules, ofc) and we'll see by the end of next week where we're directed. 🤞
