Would a coronavirus survive in these conditions anyhow? Or, remain transmittable?
- xchaotic 6y agoIt's a virus not a bacteria so the proteins don't disintegrate. The probability of transmission outside is small as sensibly people limit the time outside, but the flipside is they stay indoors, in confined spaces together, which is perfect breeding ground for the virus.
- jlokier 6y agoLast I heard the coronavirus survives a lot longer in freezing conditions than at room temperature.
- shock 6y agoCold acts as a preservative for viruses. In labs which do experiments with viruses, they keep viruses in freezers for a looong time.
- anoncake 6y agoCoronaviruses cause the common cold, which is more common when it's cold.
