Why is it fake news?
Do you have a link/source proving this is fake? From DP sanitizing sources?
"The coronavirus survived for up to 17 days aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship, living far longer on surfaces than previous research has shown.
So, the virus was "living"? Okay...
The question is - was in still infectious? Was it inactivated? RNA can be detected in an inactivated virus.
I believe that CNBC was using the word "survive" to suggest the virus was still infectious, given the tone of the article.
Maybe fake news is too strong. How about DECEPTIVE NEWS?
