Apparently the virus doesn't live very long outside the body, at lower temperatures.
- jacquesm 7y agoThe general consensus is that viruses are not alive to begin with, it would probably be better to talk about 'active' viruses vs those that are no longer able to do their thing. A virus doesn't die, it simply becomes incapable of infecting a cell. A bacterium is alive, a virus borrows most of the machinery of life from a living cell. > https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/are-viruses-alive-2004/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/are-viruses-alive...
