One way this virus can really spread is by people coming to your door to talk about religion with you. There are a couple of groups that do this on a daily basis. They want to talk to you, and push their literature in order to convert and save you.
What you need to remember is that they have been going door to door shaking hands, passing out literature that has been handled by numerous people. These same groups will also be going to their place of worship, and some of them will be going to their conventions all over the U.S.A. and around the world.
I am not against religion, but I did belong to one of these groups years ago, and I know that the most important thing for them is getting out, especially on weekends, to push their beliefs, and colds, and flu symptoms will not stop them. I was always amazed and how many of them would go to the the Hall every weekend no matter how sick they were.
Think about this before you open your door, and ask the kindly to not come back until the danger of this virus is taken care of. I have family members that are still in one of these groups, and I fear for them, but they won't stop unless their governing body tells them to.
Keep safe.
