“SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: The virus can survive in liquid or dried material for a number of days”

Thank you.
Different sources say different time periods as it varies on the conditions. The link the the Canadian health Dept sheet says several days. I can’t find the one that said 5 days.
For areas which get sunlight it would be less. Areas with AC it might be more. If its dried it can still revive.
Could you post a link to the "if it's dried it can still revive" reference?
The link to the Canadian safety sheet posted earlier has that.
Advocating drinking colloidal silver to prevent Ebola infection is no greater a level of scientific sophistication than the Africans who lay out bat entrails and dance over them.
