Hopefully this will be used as a teaching moment - that SC2 is mostly a respiratory virus and that masks and socialdistancing are the best way to prevent spread. Handwashing sure, but fomites are a minor route. That out of mysystem, I completely support this: https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-disinfected-after-trump-exit-1553725

I suspect this'll be the end of the industry in Denmark though - which is a good thing. The Netherlands already had those plans in place prior to COVID, so that made their culling decision a little easier.
