I was at WalMart in Clifton Park this morning and the store seemed deserted.
Now I realize why in church last Sunday, when I went to shake hand with the folks I usually do, they jumped back instead of pressing flesh. It is my understanding it is more likely transmitted airborne than by direct contact. Is that right?

All the medical reports are telling people NOT to shake hands, or touch their face while this illness is raging on. It appears that the most common form of transmission is for people to touch a contaminated surface, then itch their nose, etc. For now, I would not shake hands with anyone unless I witnessed them wiping their hands with a disinfectant right before they extended their palm.

This virus is FAR from being resolved.....better Safe than Sorry.
