Any stories or ideas on exactly how people are catching this? I’m washing my hands raw and distancing and decontaminating every thing. But how easily is it transmitted?? Is it like I walk into a room and “Bammm” Covidality! Or is it actually touching?

It's a pandemic. Your Uber delivery driver has it. Your grocery store clerk has it. They are young with minimal symptoms.
If someone is coughing, allegedly past 6 feet is the safe zone, but this had many exceptions. And think about all the things you touch, even your pant leg that you then touch within 24 hours.
Stop focusing on you getting it unless elderly, sick, or obese. Keep the elderly quarantined, drop off their groceries, and otherwise relax.
