Do you have any sources or links to these papers?
And FWIW, a zoonotic virus is a virus that is contracted by humans directly from animals.

While it is thought that this Coronavirus started in an animal reservoir, it made the species jump to become a human to human transmittable virus.
“Meanwhile, it’s not known whether or how long the virus might survive in droplets on hard surfaces, such as doorknobs or countertops. But we know the common cold virus (which is also a coronavirus) can last “a couple hours to maybe a couple days,” depending on temperature, humidity, and other factors, says Amesh Adalja, MD, an infectious disease expert at the Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins University. Adalja tells Elemental that the same might be true of this virus, but he thinks surfaces are not likely the main form of transmission.”

Click the link. At the very top there will be a hperlink something like ‘mbio’.
click that. it will load a popup. the blurb next to NLM will have a ‘PMID’. copy that number with your mouse. Thats the PubMedID number.
Go to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed
Past that in the search window (make sure the selector on the left is set for ‘pubmed’)
That should bring up the abstract/info at pubmed.
Over on the right hand side under ‘similar articles’, there will be a link labeled: ‘see all’. Click that link.
“But we know the common cold virus (which is also a coronavirus) can last “a couple hours to maybe a couple days,””
Given the paper I linked (concerning the ‘common cold coronavirus’) and other papers, it would appear that Amesh is being a little ‘economical with the truth’.
And you're making a leap using the "more likely". A big leap to get to two weeks.
