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?

If I had taken the whole dreaded “cooties” thing to heart, I could have avoided a whole lot of trouble. Damn... sometimes the warnings may be misdirected, but absolutely true.

Oh, I know wear 2 masks and throw the outer mask away.

I throw salt over my shoulder and chant my Transcendental Meditation mantra. Worked for the last year.

The only routine against the COVID virus is washing hands after returning home and menus at restaurants, or any other place norovirus is routinely prevalent.

I’m not worried about COVID.

Noro hits fast and hard.

Ebola we may have to worry about later with the border assault.

Yup. It’s the flu. Some people’s lives are so empty, they clutch and cling to wearing masks and avoiding other people. They crave being controlled by the nanny state. Look at these morons wearing their face diapers while driving down the highway. Dopes.

You should wait at least five minutes before licking the surface (bathroom stall door knob, cigarette butt found lying in the gutter).

not very long I heard....maybe 30 minutes....from what I've read, this virus is easily degraded....

presence of the virus does not equal contagion...

Being as simple as I can, with any virus, it depends on temperature and humidity. The longer the virus stays “wet” its spreadable. heat will kill the virus, “dryness” will diminish its spreading. That’s why Florida and Texas did so well.

Detectable (even though they haven’t isolated the actual virus) and transmittable are two different things.

The fact that they used “both symptomatic and asymptomatic occupants” also says they’re full of it.

That’s because it was the remainder of the virus. It was the corpse of the virus that was detected.

Post 45 explains it quickly.

Just wash yer paws.

Which is a good idea for a lot of reasons, not just WuFlu.

“How long does Covid virus remain active?”

I doubt it matter, since it’s spread through the air.

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


Plus add D3

As long as it is useful to the left for political purposes, of course!

‘’and not getting too close to people you don’t know’’.

Have you ever worked in a hospital?

Hepatitis C can stay dormant in a drop of dried blood for up to a week.

Yes. And a clinic. But, the battlefield is where I performed most of my medical care.
