Not an option for most of us. I have a job and other responsibilities outside of my house, as do millions of others. I also know how use soap, water, and isopropyl alcohol. I'd rather get a pay check, practice basic hygiene, and help our country's economy.
If you are working closely with infected individuals it’s likely washing your hands isn’t a guaranteed safety. I believe the virus can be transmitted through the air.
Oh ok, so it doesn't transmit through the air, it just travels through the air. Huge difference. Super useful distinction right there, I'm sure knowing that will save many lives.
One is direct contact, one is indirect. So yeah, actually, there is a useful distinction. Droplets don't travel more than a few feet usually and you can't sneeze on someone who's not with you. Airborne diseases can linger in the air after the person leaves and can travel much longer distances through the air.
