Have a question. Couldn't find reasonable answer. I know, wipe thing down, wear gloves, wear a mask. use hand sanitizers, wash your hands etc. People touch many surfaces daily.i.e., shopping carts gas pumps, doors, clothes etc, etc. How long does Covid virus remain active?

According to Dr. Fasci, the Covid-19 virus has a half-life measured in decades.

it lasts as long as Democrats can milk it for emergency powers. I remember reading about a week, but don’t quote me.

Don’t worry about it. Go about your life taking normal precautions such as washing your hands and not getting to close to people you don’t know. Let your immune system do the rest, unless you’re immunocompromised.

More important would be “How long is it transmittable?” Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any good answers. It can survive for weeks on some surfaces in some environments. Highly variable. And it survives longer than it is able to infect someone else.

That depends on if it is a mega-corp or a small business.

Coronas like churches, I think it is the halos or something?
Churches are very dangerous.

Coronas really like truly peaceful protests, but don’t like smoke, teargas or B.O. and unwashed hair so if you at that kind of peaceful protest you are fine.

“on a surface”

Probably need to narrow that down a bit.

Surface of the sun? Bar of soap? Petri dish?

Wash your hands after you’ve been out and keep them off your face and out of your mouth, nose, and eyes.

Just take your Quercetin and zinc and don’t worry about it.

If you waited a year to get clear on these things you must not be too worried about it.

What about people who wear a mask? Change it every time you go out, and then wear a new mask? Oh, I know wear 2 masks and throw the outer mask away.

Depends on the surface. The average is two to three days.

What nasty thing did you touch?

You know, if you could shine a special light that could illuminate cooties, if you pointed it at public doors, keypads etc, it would appear as though the surface was crawling, alive, millions of them moving, as they rapidly multiply.

Corona viruses in general can last for 2-3 days in some environments.

However, put it in the sun (UV light), or feed dry air, or oxygen into the mix, and it will die in a very small fraction of that.

The longer we wear mask, or worse, double up on the facial diapers, the easier it is to get sick from many types of bacteria, and even viruses in some cases.

About two months ago, in my mother’s church, I believe they had four people die from bacteria in their mask, *in one week!

There is no such thing as COVID 19.
You’ve all been set up by the mask lobby owned by Fauci.
