Reply to comment by [deleted] in What is the current consensus on coronavirus transmission through fomites? Can I stop pressing elevator buttons with my keys? by PolytheneMan

The surface area of contact for a finger is significantly larger than the end/edge of a key and so although some may transfer, it matters how much contact is made.

I understand that but still feel it's sorta useless precaution. Like just wash your hands more often or make it a habit to carry anti. Bac. And when going in and out of public buildings and bathrooms get In the habit of using it. Maby not every time you enter a public building. Idk if you use a public restroom and when your done running errands for the day. You need some natural immunity
