God is in the Details

I can understand the concerns but studies have shown that the risk of catching Covid from physical items is very low - the risk is mainly airborne and close contact with someone who has the virus is probably the biggest risk

 

Transport for London have long since abandoned the hand sanitiser stations

You do you but if you haven't had Covid 19 already I'm amazed and you've done very well to avoid it.

 

I seriously doubt that wiping everything you come into contact with with sanitiser is going to make the slightest bit of difference to your chances of catching it.

 

I had Covid in November 2019 - an unintended consequence of a holiday in North Vietnam on the border with China or migrating thro two large airport hubs I was never sure where I caught it

 

It (the original strain) was proper nasty and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but a virus that kills it's host doesn't tend to last long - it's evolved into a much less aggressive strain over time

 

Not had it since either - the human species is quite amazing in it's ability to deal with pathogens that it's had to meet.

Brass door handles and joinery left alone have been shown to be more effective than regularly changed stainless steel. 

 

My advice, put the effort into making your body stronger and more resilient, there will always be variants of bacteria and viruses that slip through the nets. 

 

Yes diabetes can make common infections worse, but there are also diabetics who run marathons. 

 

 

"How to manage contamination of the home"

Do you have lots of people spending hours in your house? As in, have you quantified the risk?

 

I would look at good ventilation and air changes as your baseline strategy, and if you have a busy area consider an air purifier. We're thinking about adding one to my wife's home office as she sees little germspreaders children for hours every day and anything that may help us stop catching their bugs is worth a try.

Snotgobblers I call them

 

One thing I did like about Covid was it showed the world how good a childs developing immune system was and how it could take on a novel pathogen (CV-19) and just bloody laugh at it like all the other colds and coughs

 

They didn't need vaccinating and there never should have been any attempt to do that all the data screamed that!!!
