“The real problem with ebola is it causes the victims to bleed and leak body fluids everywhere.”

Does the virus require a fluid solution to survive 5 days? Does anyone know how long can it survive once the fluid has dried?

That’s a good question and I haven’t been able to find an answer. Some viruses can survive years on surfaces. Others only a few hours.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think it can live on surfaces for hours to days - Id have to do some research beyond that. There is no doubt actual body fluid is the most infectious though

Yes several days on a dried surface, like oh, an airline bathroom counter or armrest.
