Covid transmission question

I have been not meeting any one outside my household and not going to any social gatherings and have been extremely careful about grocery shopping and wiping down with sanitizer etc..

Last night I went to pick up wings from wing stop and was phone waiting for the order ... just slipped for a minute and ordered a bottled beer and drank it ... and had eaten the wings without washing my hands ... I have touched the door knobs of the store ... there was no one else in the store at that time ...

Question - do you have to touch virus on surface and directly touch your mouth , nose or ears ..

if you touched other surfaces like my car steering ..etc .. does the viral load get reduced .. assuming there is virus in the first place ..

Apart from that I have not done any other risky behavior ... am I just overthinking and being paranoid ?
