WTAF. Shame, shame on Metro for publishing lies:
The droplets Covid is hitching a ride on need to enter a person’s eyes, nose or mouth to spread. It doesn’t linger in the air for long enough to be a risk.
Not "lingering" is FALSE. Incontrovertible evidence shows SARS-CoV-2 can spread by aerosols, including after a sick person has left the room.
Washing your hands is one of the best ways to avoid Covid. ... Clean ‘high-touch’ surfaces such as mobile phones and bathroom door handles as well.
This is FALSE. Almost NO cases of SARS-CoV-2 are through touch ("fomite") spread. Even the US CDC at one point estimated only 1 in 10,000 cases were through touch.
🤬 awful reporting. If you live in the UK and want to complain and demand a correction, you can email [email protected] about https://metro.co.uk/2026/10/05/american-covid-bad-29678818/
