Your comment is just not scientific

We have known that the virus can exist temporarily on surfaces since the beginning of the pandemic. Over countless millions of cases, there is still no evidence that anyone has ever been infected by contact with sars-cov-2 viruses on a surface.

> they may behave differently on surfaces than the strains that have been studied to date

"may" is doing the heavy lifting here. My priors for a small number of mutations being able to change the way a virus behaves on a surface are exactly equal to zero.
