That is also Nomads “thinking”, but I would like to see any information if it can be transmitted like that. Obviously if someone touches a virus populated droplet and then touches someone on the face, if that all happens within the 72hr-ish window the virus can survive outside.
But if an immune person does the same and then licks his finger, how long can the virus live in his saliva? For example, as that is what is suggested.
I don’t know enough, but that would seem to impact the herd immunity, if you are immune but the virus can live in you, outside the blood stream and therefore outside the immunity response and go on to infect others?
I don’t see how that works.
