It just 'does not spread easily' in that manner, the CDC now says, nor by animal-to-human contact or vice versa.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has always warned that"it may be possible" to become infected with coronavirus by touching contaminated surfaces or objects.

It just "does not spread easily" in that manner, the agency now says, nor by animal-to-human contact, or vice versa.."It may be possible for COVID-19 to spread in other ways, but these are not thought to be the main ways the virus spreads."that the CDC's slight update brings clarity and helps to reduce fears.

“Many people were concerned that by simply touching an object they may get coronavirus and that’s simply not the case. Even when a virus may stay on a surface, it doesn’t mean that it’s actually infectious,” Whyte was quoted.“I think this new guideline helps people understand more about what does and doesn’t increase risk. It doesn’t mean we stop washing hands and disinfecting surfaces. But it does allow us to be practical and realistic as we try to return to a sense of normalcy,” he said.

The CDC still warns that the main way the virus is spread is through person-to-person contact, even among those who are not showing any symptoms. The main way to prevent infection, the CDC says, is by practicing social distancing and staying at least 6 feet away from others, washing your hands with soap and water, and cleaning and disinfecting frequently-touched areas.

Then why the hell did the CDC say it is spread easily this way? IF YOU DONT KNOW DONT GUESS

The CDC is not an organization that people should trust

CDC: Definitely, maybe, possibly though it might not. Yet it could be, so best take precautions. 😂🤣😂

BS let’s see the cdc touch surfaces and then rub their own eyes or nose. 11thHour maddow NicolleDWallace

If you’ve followed the “science” you’re probably a little dizzy right now.

Probably because those tests to determine how long it remains on surfaces was not based on a real life situations.

This should be 'breaking news' on any legitimate news outlet.

What gives? Still no difference because you’ll still worry that you can POSSIBLY catch it.

CDC has no idea what to do must have gone to liberal colleges and tow the liberal lines but their lies are coming out! These people are clueless

Packs a punch 🥊

Basically they're still learning about this virus and it can mutate. So it is best to continue to protect yourself.

See, this is why many people don't believe the officials. For ex, initially they said, don't wear a mask. Then, they said wear a mask. I think they are intentionally screwing with the people to create confusion and chaos. As usual.

Just normalizing us. CDC is an arm of politics now, not health.

I don’t trust the cdc

Over 93,000 bodies in bags and climbing I think its easily spread enough.

CONTINUE TO WEAR GLOVES & SANITIZE EVERYTHING. THE CDC WORKS FOR TRUMP. PROTECT YOURSELF.

Trump changes cdcs message to suit donni trump 😼

I wish the FDA knew what they were talking about not a very smart dept.

So those people licking toilet seats were not that crazy afterall.

I don’t think they have a clue about this virus. It’s obvious by their flip flopping reports.

Quite different from initial statements telling people how contagious this virus is.

Well that’s good news, no?

The problem is, we cannot trust the CDC anymore, thanks to Trump.

Trump pay them to say that?

LarouxVandyk My cat got that shit back in December and sneezed on me so now I test exposed but immune. Catz haz powerz.

They just want to see how easy it is to manipulate the hell out of us! They are laughing all the way to the bank at how easy it is to destroy us! I hate USA Today!

Does this mean it wasn’t a bat?

tell that to the 350,000 that are dead, 97,000 US deaths, yeah sure its just a bug

You’ve been played like a fiddle AMERICA

More than 4.97 million people infected by the pandemic globally | 327,000 deaths Latest updates | cases per million population👇 COVID19Pandemic COVIDー19

Well no shit

it's a respiratory virus spread by droplets airborne by a person coughing, sneezing or breathing next to you and be careful of entering low-ceiling poorly ventilated shops or social venues, potentially virus-laden air is hanging and you don't wanna' be breathing in there

Message from the one who predicted coronavirus. Dr. Anthony R. Fehr, Assistant Professor of Infectious Disease at the University of Kansas. He was one of about a hundred people in the country studying the coronavirus full-time.

who unicef this is great news.

MarijaneGreen Oh why did they say that

Lol, why don't they test it out then, or is Trump getting too many complaints from his rich company owners that it reduces profits to clean.

ill tell you what does spread easily

They say this but in their new guidelines for schools reopening the message is VERY different - no shared supplies or toys or playground equipment - so which is it?!?!

After all that dam bleach and Lysol we bought now u tell us. Washing these dam knobs every 5 minutes.

I can finally stop washing my mail

ummmmmm.....

Trump Orders CDC To Research His Investment Portfolio For Potential Coronavirus CuresWASHINGTON—On the heels of touting the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for treating Covid-19, President Donald Trump issued orders to the CDC Wednesday, urging the agency to conduct extensive research into his investment portfolio to find more potential cures for the novel coronavirus. “Look, there’s all sorts of stuff in here that could help with the disease as far we know, so let’s start giving people some luxury spa treatments and see what happens,” said Trump, demanding that the country’s leading public health institute conduct clinical studies to see if an hour or two a day on a Floridian golf course could significantly reduce the need for a respirator. “Even just a couple of studies showing that Pepsi or Microsoft products can help neutralize the spread of the virus would be really amazing. Remember, people are dying, so we need everyone working around the clock to make sure that none of my financial interests are overlooked.” Trump added that in order to expedite the process, all further study would occur at the CDC’s new state-of-the-art facilities at the Trump International Hotel.
