Bad part to ignore, if you think your own house or even your body is clean, hit it with a black light and you will be shocked.

I worded that poorly. I assume that everything is covered in germs/virus all the time. Having something clean is the exception not the rule. I didn't need a study to show me that. I don't care about the buffet test as that will be a very atypical situation. I suspect a restaurant test with cooks/servers/patrons would have a similar result with one infected person in the kitchen and would be much more applicable to the near future.

If you walked into a restaurant kitchen or bathroom with a black light :/ you would probably leave very quickly. The black light won't actually let you see germs, but it will show you all the places that have not been adequately cleaned. Grease, blood, urine, semen, saliva ... pretty much any biological material will fluoresce under long wave UV light.
... great way to see where rats and mice have been frequently traveling too, like in your attic.
Well one upside to this mess is that if the findings below hold up, anyone being loud should get the boot from restaurants.
Coronavirus: Restaurant experiment shows how quickly COVID-19 spreads
Further research finds speaking loudly spreads more of the disease which remains in the air for more than eight minutes.news.sky.com
The video was released as research by Stanford University found speaking transmits the virus.
The louder people speak, the more droplets are dispersed, the study found.
Researchers said with just one minute of loud speaking, at least 1,000 infected droplets remain in the air for more than eight minutes.
These can then be inhaled by other people, triggering a new COVID-19 infection
So a no Texan policy?

The Putz Minister gave a PSA on speaking moistly weeks ago.
Oh look! They are using Black light to show the dirty spotsI only suggested that about 200 pages ago.
Just for the record, just because something shows up on black light doesn't mean it's "dirty". Endless things glow under black light...anyone who's ever used one for something like, oh, Halloween knows this.
That demonstration was designed using an intentionally phosphorescent product designed to show transfer. It doesn't automatically translate to "anything that glows is dirty". For example, Turmeric glows under black light, so a steam tray in a buffet that has a food containing lot of turmeric will glow like crazy - this doesn't automatically translate to "it's infected, throw it away!". Just one example of many....

Never used one for Halloween I only used them in biological microscopes, medical and diagnostic optical instruments or to find where mice have been pissing all over the place. It's just a tool, but as with most tools you need to know how to use it to get much benefit from it.
You could turn one on in a NASA "Clean room" for example and a lot of stuff would glow.
It's a useful tool as part of the bigger picture, but it's not the be all end all as tool either. Just because your shoelaces, the brim of your hat, the plant in your window, and your spice cabinet glow like someone plugged them into an outlet doesn't inherently mean that there's a risk there.

Not even in a Trump club?
Laundry detergents that claimed to make whites whiter than white used fluorescent dyes. If you went to a dance where there was black light it looked like a Chernobyl reunion.
As expected, entitled pricks are starting to get their lawyers involved as cottage access is god-given right that cannot be restricted by any mere mortal. Selected quotes from article below.
torontolife.com
You were also allowed to put boats in the water for year-round residents who had water-only-access properties, but not for seasonal cottagers. Is that accurate?
It is. But that is basically nobody up here. Up here, it’s people who live in the city and have properties on islands.
We had people whose lawyers contacted us; we had some customers who are lawyers who were saying that we can’t legally withhold their product. And my understanding is that’s correct. So in the time of pandemic, what is the law? What your lawyer says or what the premier says? The fact that it was a bit of a grey area definitely added to the stress.
I heard a lot of elaborate stories from people to explain why their cottage was now their primary residence: they just got a divorce, they were renting their city place out, they had a change of address. My staff had cottagers try to bribe them with offers to use their boats, their cottages, free Leafs tickets. Of course we didn’t accept.
We were allowed to get the boats ready, put them in the water and tie them to the dock, but we weren’t allowed to hand the boats over to owners. That was tough. Our parking lot is right next to the docks. We definitely had people coming up and getting into their boats and driving off. I think maybe they just heard the premier say the part about “boats in the water” and didn’t listen to anything else. My staff tried to enforce the rules, but what are we supposed to do? Thankfully, the rules have changed again going into the long weekend and we are allowed to give people their boats—as long as they are using them to travel and not for recreational purposes.
How are you supposed to make that determination?
Well exactly
Oh, we’ve already seen a lot of that—people out water-skiing and posting it on Instagram. We’ve heard about people planning parties, tennis tournaments…
I know of one guy who took the frame off his licence plate so you couldn’t tell he was from Toronto. That was after another car with city plates had a rock thrown through the window. I know people are stressed and upset, but that just isn’t right. On the other hand, you see people coming up from the city and acting like they’ve entered some kind of safe zone and everything is the same as normal, and that’s hard too. One analogy I heard the other day is you know how Canadians are asked, “Should we be opening our borders to Americans?” and the answer is no, no. That’s how a lot of rural Ontario feels about people coming in from Toronto.

We're planning on going north to the cottage for at least a night. We bought all our supplies (liquor, groceries, propane, etc.) and don't plan on going to the local store.
Am I an ******* for doing that? I'm not planning on talking to anyone or even going to the beach, just get out of town with the wife and kids for a change of scenery. Hopefully I don't get a rock through my window.

At this point, I think that is a reasonable proposition. The reason they keep saying dont go at all is we all know that 80% of cottagers are giant entitled dbags and will do whatever they want regardless of the impact on others.
Where. I was worried about being crucified by GTAM!
Just @Wingboy and Samuel L Jackson. Besides, on the low chance you need medical attention, you are not far from big hospitals and wont burden the small hospitals.
Just put a sign in your window that says "I'm self isolating, **** off" and any of the locals who get their panties in a knot over you being there should get the message that you're not running around being typhoid Mary.
Don't forget. The plan was always for almost everyone to get it. Just over a much longer period of time, so that the hospitals can keep up. If the hospitals are empty, that's not so good.
Edit: It'll be weird if the "yahoos" live through it better than those who locked themselves away, but it'll depend on the amount of hospital crowding when each event occurs.

Here's an idea,
pay no attention to the things that glow where you expect them to glow,and concentrate only on the stuff that glows when it very obviously should not.
Your argument is as senseless as saying an x-ray is a waste of time because it only shows shadows and all x-rays only show shadows.
