This.

It's not being transmitted to any measurable degree by fomites(surfaces). Countries that are doing extensive contact tracing have very very few unsolved cases. The vast majority of cases they are able to track to an infected person. All the hand sanitizer and chlorox wipes are a waste of time and effort. It doesn't hurt to clean as regular rhinoviruses and traditional flu can pass that way, but it's not preventing covid transmission. It's just drying out people's hands and making them paranoid to open a door.
