Vidcast: https://youtu.be/-cTZbHQgBfI CoVid19 remains viable in contaminated spray for up to 3 hours. It can live on surfaces for up to 3 days. This data, just reported in the New England Journal, comes from the NIH infectious disease unit in Montana. The researchers tested the virus in 10 experimental scenarios. The virus lived longest on plastics, 72 hours, and stainless steel, 48 hours. No significant virus lived on cardboard after 24 hours or on copper after only 4 hours. Keep this information in mind as you protect yourself from the virus. Clean all surfaces frequently, including your phone. Soap is an excellent virus killer destroying its outer shell protein coat. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2004973?query=RP #covid19 #coronavirus #aerosols #plastic #steel #cardboard #copper
