But let`s concentrate on the temperature issue, that`s what concerns. I live near Akron Ohio and we get cold temps here.

You say drying kills it, well will freezing kill it?

If so, then will near freezing temps kill it? The site says USAMRIID`s answer is no.

It changes the equation due to the simple fact that at 50 F, that droplet will not dry out as fast.

And I`ve read that drying onto a glass surface will not kill Ebola, that it can survive up to 50 days on a protected glass substrate.

Will the colder days increase that viability? We need to know as we Northerners do deal with cold temps.

Freezing preserves it.
