it’s not a big leap to expect that some people get sick from pathogens picked up from hotel remote controls.
Kirsch warns that this study is preliminary and is limited by the sample size, which included only 3 rooms in each state and 19 surfaces within each hotel room, but hopes that it is just the beginning of a body of research that could offer a scientific basis to hotel housekeeping.
The study is more about the cleaning process there is no realm indication that the level of contamination is at risk leves just because something has the highest level of contaminants does it mean that it poses a risk? If I go in to an industrial clean room, I am surely the highest carrier of contaminants (and I do poses a risk to the quale of the production) but does that make me a health risk to other people?

So it is a leap, while maybe not big, that I'd like to see some medical literature document.
