It seems to me that this is it. Critical note-not peer reviewed: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.23.20039446v2. If you share with others....please, please insist on noting that the study is not peer reviewed. Hopefully, the review will come soon.

@@whispersunset1 Yep that's it and yes, not peer reviewed yet.

I respectfully disagree the public should be wearing masks and maintaining a distance.

I see several possible things adding to the number of COVID-19 cases, but I haven't found a discussion of them. Non-foam style hand soap, especially the sort often found in public restrooms, tends to be rather thick, and apparently thicker than necessary for killing bacteria. I find that letting a minimal amount of soap fall onto one hand, then immediately using running water to knock part of that down the drain (because it's that thick leaving the dispenser), then lightly coating both hands with the remaining dispensed soap is the best way to not take three minutes for simple hand washing (when nothing very dirty is on either hand at first). I wonder if that's one reason why a lot of other men simply don't wash their hands with soap if at all.
