CDC says deep cleaning unnecessary

[Noelle <http://dummy.us.eu.org/noelleg>]

Calling deep cleaning “a distraction,” public health experts 
welcomed the news, saying there is little evidence that contaminated 
surfaces spread the virus. A much greater threat, they add, is the 
exhaled breath of infected people.

“This virus largely spreads through the air, not via surfaces,” said 
Dr. Ashish K. Jha, dean of the University School of Public 
Health, on Twitter.

“Do basic hand hygiene, absolutely,” he said. “But focus on masks, 
ventilation and keeping air safe.”

For over a year, we’ve shared a collective sense of paranoia — 
dubbed “hygiene theater” — about touching ATMs, grocery bags and 
even the day’s delivered mail.
