Think of the wharf rats and the cargo ships. This virus stayed on metal and plastic longer than a day. Only a matter of time until we hear of the next sick freighter seeking a port.

At the end of last years outbreak there was the news that some people in southern China had antibodies but never had the extreme symptoms. They had to be contagious at some point even if asymptomatic. This will make for a very difficult quarantine if it breaks in large numbers again.

If I remember correctly, it lived for long periods of time on some surfaces and under favorable conditions.
