I agree, but the issue is that there are people who legitimately feel safer and less stressed if hygiene theater is happening. As stress depresses the immune system...

We need to give people time to realize that the paranoid surface cleaning doesn't do any good before we stop it.

On the other hand, I have seen more than one situation where a business has put surface hygiene literally AHEAD of reducing contact between people... "I can't touch that, please spend more time breathing my air to work around it" is a thing that absolutely needs to stop.
