BUY CLOROX.............................AND ITS STOCK...............
You make good points.
Let me offer this counterpoint...if this was a huge problem, would we see sick/infected FedEx/DHL/UPS/Amazon workers by now?
Widely reported where? Sources? BTW this is a vanity and should be in Chat not in News. Just saying
... but not the flow of goods
dude, it takes a month for a Chinese cargo ship to reach the USA
correction over a month to get here
Maybe that is why China is spaying disinfectant over the cities and streets. There has been videos of this and now they are using drones to spray with.
It appears China knows this already, they started spraying a couple of days ago. What is China hiding?
Making stuff up I see.
The wife works in a Northeast university. It is about 50-70% Asian population of students and professors (from what I can see and I drive her there daily). I’d say in the past few weeks at least half are wearing surgical masks. I hear they regularly travel back to China (etc). Now the school determined they won’t pay for flights back and forth to China due to the virus. (I guess this has to do with deals worked out with professors who have some sort of deal worked out).
It’s amazing how once again our borders are wide open and to people from a sworn enemy.
So it stays alive for a month on dry surfaces? Seems unlikely, every airplane in the world is HEAVILY infect then and has been for 45 days, where are all the sick?
It’s been reported....that corona virus lives on surfaces for 2 - 4 weeks....
Why not post a link to your ‘reported’ source?
People’s Daily, China
@PDChina
Patients who have recovered from #pneumonia caused by the novel #coronavirus still face the risk of being infected again, an expert said at a press conference of China’s National Health Commission on Friday.

Bull Crap!
Viruses are not “alive.” They are just genetic material in a capsule. They have no metabolism, consume no energy.
Welcome to FR. “Widely reported” is the same as Fake News.
>It’s been widely reported that the virus can live on surfaces for over two weeks.
FALSE, fake news!
That’s a big assertion to make without citing any evidence.

Imported goods from China should not carry infectious strains of the virus, especially given that most coronaviruses can survive on surfaces for only a matter of hours, Messonnier said on Monday (Jan. 27). “There’s no evidence to support the transmission of this virus through imported goods,” she said.
