Has anyone seen this?

This makes out transmission to be worse than what we are being told and we should all be wearing masks for sure at the very least

I read it the other day but it suggests hospital conditions to me. The One and only widely publicised study about surfaces indicated the duration this virus survives on surfaces.
Worldometer spells it out that touching contaminated surfaces can lead to infection.
The transmission through air has been highlighted by the Belgian study on cyclists, joggers, supermarkets.
I think it’s good to have a more authoritative summary with links to where information comes from so we can all be better informed. And most people would need more encouragement and practical advice on what to do and how. We are picking up bits here and here from all over the world but I wish there was a clearer direction for the simple person in the street.

Face masks?

Surely it should be that everyone must be forced to wear radiation suits with oxygen systems built in as well all the time.
