| 摘要： | The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently updated its guidance concerning the surface transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. The CDC recognizes the principal way people are infected with COVID-19 "is through exposure to respiratory droplets carrying infectious virus." The CDC says it is possible for people to be infected through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects, but says the risk is "generally considered to be low." CDC has determined washing your hands was a more effective preventative measure than a once or twice a day surface disinfection. Those in opposition to the aggressive cleaning routines adopted by many transit agencies during the health crisis called for the end of what they have dubbed "hygiene theater." Derek Thompson, a staff writer for The Atlantic and a vociferous opponent of hygiene theater, recently wrote: "The CDC's announcement should be curtains for theatrical deep cleanings. But until companies, transit authorities, retailers and magazines embrace the value of scientific discovery and the joy of learning new things, the show, and the soap, will go on." |
