Scared but also misinformed, as Covid never spread by touch.

Well. Easier to say now than back in the days when being careful when touching anything was government guidelines almost everywhere.
That's true, although those government guidelines were not rooted in any evidence at the time. They were speculative.

Now for example, we know for a fact that monkeypox spreads through touch and physical contact, but still most people don't take action to safeguard against it.
