CDC now says coronavirus 'does not spread easily' via contaminated surfaces

Jesus fuck will they make up their minds.  Took them 3-4 months to figure this out.   Everyone would have had if it spread that easily thru fomites.

For those of you still wiping down groceries and other packages amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, breathe a sigh of relief: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now says the novel virus “does not spread easily” from "touching surfaces or objects" — but experts warn that doesn’t mean it’s no longer necessary to take "practical and realistic" precautions in stopping the spread of COVID-19.

Though it’s not exactly clear when, the federal health agency appears to have recently changed its guidelines from early March that simply said it “may be possible” to spread the virus from contaminated surfaces. The CDC now includes "surfaces or objects" under a section that details ways in which the coronavirus does not readily transmit.

More sheer incompetence by the CDC.  No one is surprised by this.

Do you ever get the feeling that the people that should know this shit don't know shit?

I get that early on we might not have known.   But 3rd week in May and they just figured this out?   Typical govt.   The CDC is the DOT/MVD of the medical community.
