A really good article about how the excessive focus on cleaning/surface transmission of COVID-19 has been vastly overemphasized to the detriment of preventing transmission from respiratory droplets/aerosols. In a similar way that a lot of the post-9/11 airport safety measures are ‘security theatre’ (i.e. they make us feel safer but don’t actually make us safer), the overemphasized focus on deep cleaning/sanitizing surfaces has likely taken away from more effective measures to prevent COVID-19 from spreading, giving us 'prevention fatigue’ from measure that don’t even help much.
Just want to emphasize this part because so many restaurants and bars are trumpeting how much they’re cleaning while still having indoor dining
