You really need to keep up with the literature. A paper recently came out which says it can survive ten days at ambient temperature a on most plastic and steel surfaces. And others have reported it is aerosolized. It spreads through cough, sneeze, and breath.
This one is different.
- avian 7y agoDo you have a link to the paper? Edit: I found this literature review [1] that sounds similar to what you're referring to. Note that this is only a summary of previously published results on similar viruses. If you check the source data in Table I the persistence times are from hours to days, and the author's conclusion is "up to 9 days" (emphasis mine). In my opinion this is very weak evidence to say that it can survive 10 days "on most surfaces".

- _-___________-_ 7y agoI'm keeping up with the literature just fine, thank you very much. Nothing is nearly as definite as your comment would suggest.
