I definitely did no such thing and still have never caught covid.
I feel like I was dumb not to at the time, and got lucky that it wasn't a transmission vector
It was dumb to. Covid doesnt survive that long on surfaces
Had that been demonstrated in the very beginning?
Nope. Quite the opposite actually. I read at the beginning of the pandemic that they found covid on a book 9 days after exposure, and that was it for me. Since the eye was also a transmission vector I figured it would be best to be safe and sanitize everything. I was worried about getting it on my hands, rubbing my eyes, and getting infected. That turned out to be really low risk, but I like no risk a lot more than low risk.
Nobody knew that at the time, don't pretend you're smarter than the WHO.
pretty sure i am smarter than a couple of musicians
At the time though it was believed it could stay on surfaces for something crazy like 48 hours.
