This was contentious the last time I posted it and seeing as there’s rising cases, and my parents just asked me to buy some for my relatives, thought I’d share it again . Currently 20% off, not their cheapest but I’ll just blame inflation.

It’s a small tool that is designed to avoid touching surfaces, and has a stylus nib and can opener built in. I guess it’s pretty good as a gift for the price delivered? Parent’s one is still going strong after a year!

  These are mass produced $1 units that Komaro orders in bulk and sells for $9.90 on Amazon. You can find them at a dollar store for cheaper.

  I’m confused. You touch the dirty service with this and then put it back into pocket, which contaminants everything in your pocket (and thus your hand when you put your hand back into your pocket to pull it or something else out).

  I use folded paper towel for touching surfaces (door, lifts etc.) when I have to go into the office as it can go straight into the bin afterwards.

  Edit: ordered one. Putting this on a belt pull cord would work.

  Fomites are not a major source of infection for covid. There is no reason to put extra effort into sanitising surfaces or avoiding touching them, when it comes to covid. We've known about this for at least 1.5 years already: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00251-4

    🤦

    That’s like saying more people die in car crashes when they are speeding compared to when travelling at the speed limit, therefore there’s no need to wear seatbelts if you drive at the speed limit.

    Being more likely to catch it from air particles, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be concerned about catching it from surfaces as well.

      That's a bad analogy. Seatbelts reduce crash-related injuries and deaths by around 50%, whereas environmental cleaning and disinfection had a near-0 effect on covid.

        If someone with COVID blows their nose at your office in the lift up to your office and then touches the door handle to enter the office…then 5 minutes later you touch the same door handle and you touch your face, do you really think you’re not going to get COVID?

        You might say “wash your hands”. Ok, you go wash your hands in the bathroom, but afterwards you need to turn the tap off by touching it that someone COVID positive just touched…or you have to open the bathroom door that someone COVID positive just touched.

        environmental cleaning and disinfection

        You seem really confused. This isn’t a disinfectant or cleaning product. No one here is advocating for doing deep cleans when ever there’s a COVID case, that wouldn’t be possible considering the numbers now anyway.

          @PainToad:

          If someone with COVID blows their nose at your office in the lift up to your office and then touches the door handle to enter the office…then 5 minutes later you touch the same door handle and you touch your face, do you really think you’re not going to get COVID?

          It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is that studies show that infection is unlikely to occur. In the linked study sick symptomatic patients with high viral loads were asked to cough onto a carrier surface from a 15 cm distance, and then to moisten another carrier with their saliva by placing it inside their mouth. About half of the carriers that were moistened with saliva showed viable viral samples. None of the carries that were coughed on produced viable infectious samples.

          So if you work with people that come to work sick and literally suck on door knobs, then yes, there would be a viable risk of infection. Otherwise, it is unlikely. You would be much more likely to get sick from interacting with that person.

          You seem really confused. This isn’t a disinfectant or cleaning product.

          This is a product for avoiding surface contact to prevent fomite transmission, it is therefore valid to compare it against other methods of preventing fomite transmission, such as environmental cleaning and disinfection.

    Feel free to not put in any effort but I lost a relate to COVID and my parents are over 70.

    So I'm ignoring your advice and sanitizing what ever the flipping hell I want.

      Feel free to not put in any effort

      I never said not to put in any effort. I specifically said, there is no reason to put in extra effort into sanitising surfaces or avoiding touching them for covid - because it is not effective, and effort is better spent on getting vaccinated, using PPE, and social distancing. And there are other reasons to clean and sanitise surfaces for other illnesses transmitted by fomites - but not for covid.

      Please don't accuse me of not putting in effort when you don't know how much I (as well as many others) have put into stopping transmission.

        I’ll do both.

  You could try pouring the beer into a glass (instead of buying this)..

  In case any of you think COVID is transmitted through surfaces, the answer is no. There is no credible scientific evidence that suggests that COVID is likely to be transmitted in such a way. Spending money on masks would be a better investment.

    Being more likely to be transmitted through the air doesn’t mean it isn’t transmitted via surfaces.

    I’ll avoid touching surfaces AND wear masks thank you. It’s not an either or situation.
