The coronavirus can survive on surfaces for up to 17 days, a study published Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

It probably piles up pretty good in some of those big stores...and keeps piling up. Many of those stores have hugely more than 10,000 people per week going through them (paying customers and others who zombie around in stores with them).
Exactly! Doesn’t say it survived!
SARS-CoV-2 RNA was identified on a variety of surfaces in cabins of both symptomatic and asymptomatic infected passengers up to 17 days after cabins were vacated on the Diamond Princess
WHO had a transexual beauth contest???
“Color me skeptical. CDC is as Deep State as it gets.”
LOL! How about CNBC put up a fake click-bait headline?
I did a search at CDC’s web sight. Well over 2000 hits for “Transgender”. Yeah, all that effort is really helping us out.
“This is like a super bug it seems.”
More like click-bait.
Colorado company uses UV lighting technology to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses
+++++++++++++++
Sounds cool but please all remember, if one has a pile of things, removing 99.9 percent means removing three zeros from the initial number. Removing 99.99 percent means removing four zeros from the initial number.
“I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS!!”
Yep. CNBC click-bait
Site, even.
“Yeah kind of hard to take them seriously. They used our tax money to have a Transexual beauty contest. I have no respect for them”
ROTFLMAO! Read the article and sift out the click-bait.
How many cabins died? That’s the important number.
Gross. Just put all the ships out of commission for 2 months then offer some great deals. They’ve got to get going again, like Trump says.
People (not me) love to cruise, you can’t just let an industry die.
“.how long it can survive on a surface. No?”
Only, the CDC Report did not say it survived.
How does it survive so long? I’ve heard its got a lipid (fat based? Opposed to what?) make up. 17 days seems like quite a big charge in that battery but maybe it can go dormant - be like a congealed piece of fat and when a warm organism touches it, the pathogen reactivates? Maybe but do other viruses live that long?
“17 days is a maximum.”
Where do you get that?
“It survives but is not pathogenic for 17 days. “
Where do you get that it survives for 17 days?
SARS-CoV-2 RNA was identified on a variety of surfaces in cabins of both symptomatic and asymptomatic infected passengers up to 17 days after cabins were vacated on the Diamond Princess but before disinfection procedures had been conducted (Takuya Yamagishi, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, personal communication, 2020). Although these data cannot be used to determine whether transmission occurred from contaminated surfaces, further study of fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2 aboard cruise ships is warranted.

Bloomberg article had a link to CDC
“How does it survive so long?”
It doesn’t.
Are there any democrat only cruises?
