That's just common sense.
It's spread through respiratory droplets. When someone coughs, sneezes, or even talks small droplets of virus containing mucous are expelled into the air. Most droplets fall out of the air within 6 feet. So most people who get infected do so by inhaling the droplets. The virus is viable on surfaces for short periods of time. So if someone sneezes on a card reader or coughs into their hand without washing it before using the card reader they can transfer droplets to the reader. If someone uses the reader right afterwards then touches their nose, mouth, or eyes they can infect themselves. Disinfecting surfaces helps reduce that spread.
This is basic germ theory and principles of antisepsis that a biological MD/science teacher should already understand.
Antiseptics have been proven since the days of Joseph Lister in the 19th century. Go to any hospital if you have questions.
Your constant spamming of Covid 19 related misinformation should get you banned.
Someone showed me a video of that respiratory droplets can go 10 to 15 feet out from a cough. It also showed how the mask helped a really thin one held it to around 2 feet, the one you see most people wearing to about 1 foot, a doubled over bandana was actually better at around 8 inches, and the best of course is the n95 with held it to less than 2 inches.
...and yes I was one of the weirdos wearing a mask in late feb early march lol.
