All virtually nonsense. Gloves are silly, until you see them on the ground everywhere.
Don't touch your face.
Wash or disinfect your hands before touching your face.
As far as disinfectants go, 70% methanol - rubbing alcohol - will kill Covid, so will Ethanol alcohol at the same strength minimum, and I doubt it would affect Tolex, but I haven't tried it.
A couple days?
Covid wouldn't last an hour in the sun and wind.
Take it outside, open everything up. You don't need gloves.
Wash your hands when you're done.
The ave person touches their face three times a minute. Don't do it.
But even if you did, highly unlikely you'd get sick.
Touching things is definitely not a primary source of transmission.
You get it from people, not things.
When they tell you that it can last 24hrs on cardboard and 48 hrs on stainless steel, that is in a lab environment conducive to the survival of the virus as long as possible.
Sun, wind, rain, nature kills it. Denatures it.
AC keeps it alive. When you meet people, go to the store, drive with the windows down afterwards. Covid has been found living in hospital ducts.
You get it from people inside of buildings. Mostly from family and co workers, or at the bar, etc.
Surprisingly, it doesn't like heavy moisture, and doesn't do well at all around water.
Alcohol is quicker and more effective than soap, unless you wash well, and if you had it on your hands, washed it off and touch the tap again to turn it off, you'd have it right back on you. Turn taps with elbows or paper towels after washing.
I forgot to mention UV blasters. UV does kill it, and they make door knob zappers and the like, but a real one costs $500 and there's gobs of $20 ones on the market, you do the math. Fake solutions just create a false sense of security.
