On the other hand if a shop worker is coughing(eg yesterday in Tescos), they shouldn't be there.
While I’m sure exchange of saliva is a factor clearly all 600 000 worldwide cases don’t like to kissing or being spat at. The transmission rate is far too high for that alone.

I’m unsure how this links to Italian behaviour being different from ours. Unless you are aiming at continental embraces to say hello - in which case again that makes our statistics here worse by comparison.
