But this is true covid or not. And surface transmission (what there is of it) is still easily taken care of with hand sanitation if you plan to eat with your hands.
Again-common sense. The media has hyped the fear that the virus is literally lying in wait for
(and presenting it as a VIABLE virus not fragments detected after hours) that the things going on is ridiculous and amounts to safety theater. And here in US the county health department regularly inspects hotels including the buffet kitchens. I work with kitchens and am well aware of health/food safety codes and proper handling.
High heat (like in a toaster) will inactivate most viruses and bacteria. I refuse to go around acting like every surface is going to kill me when I know I can mitigate MY risk by washing hands., with a few exceptions: keeping silverware out in bulk often with the eating end up and potentially touched by hundreds of hands, or communal bread in a bag everyone reaches into? Blech-but that bothered me covid virus or not and those I DO say something about.
The super HYPER awareness of this virus has both pros and cons, but in so many cases it is leading to nonsensical decisions as a way of showing "care" and "safety" while in actuality doing nothing at all
