CDC: Coronavirus Doesn’t Spread So Easily from Surfaces After All

From the story: The change comes after a German virologist leading the response to the country’s worst-hit areas said in April that he hadn’t found evidence the virus could live on surfaces. Dr. Hendrik Streeck reported that a team investigated the home of an infected family and found that it “did not have any live virus on any surface.” He told German TV, “There are no proven infections while shopping or at the hairdresser” (Washington Examiner).  

Remember when this same CDC said they found the virus on a cruise ship surface after everyone was gone for 17 days?  Me, too (ABC News). 

Meanwhile, 43 percent of Republicans and just 8 percent of Democrats say the worst of the coronavirus is behind us (Washington Times).
