Infections That Use Touch To Transmit
Some diseases are spread almost exclusively by touch or through the skin or mucus membranes. These include Ebola, several parasitic diseases such as hookworm, strongyloides and scabies and some bacterial and fungal infections. Other diseases like COVID-19 and influenza are mainly transmitted via other routes but use touch as a secondary method of spread. This has implications for controlling these diseases, including the role of isolation and sanitation.

Why is the tortoise who's directly responsible for the deaths of so many not to mention destroying education and businesses allowed to stand on stage and lecture? This world is clown world.
