People just have a really difficult time understanding that this thing spreads very easily by close proximity to people and very little via fomite transmission. Places people are close to each other the most INSIDE are bars, restaurants and gyms (some of them). We way overreact to sanitizing ans cleaning surfaces but way underreact to social distancing.
It will be really be telling what happens in the fall and winter with kids going back to school. We'll be able to see if asymptomatic spread (children in school) will infect their older teachers and parents. My guess is they will.
