The virus spreads through droplets. It has to enter the lungs to cause illness. They have been telling us an infected person could cough onto an object such as a doorknob and someone could touch the doorknob, then their face. It's pretty hard for that to be a successful route, bc if the droplet dries or rests on the skin, it will die fast. Another possible way it may be spreading, especially in households, would be if it is viable (alive) in feces or urine, and a person flushes the toilet, they could suspend infectious droplets in air. Don't know how plausible that is, but it may explain why the great majority of spread is within households.

And you need to do more studies. Fomites survive a long time on many surfaces. By touching a surface where a fomite has landed, and then touching your eyes or pick your nose, the virus is in your system.

Droplets can travel up to 27 feet in the air from a sneeze, and remain airborne for up to three hours before finally reaching the ground. Particle size 3 microns. It survives up to two years in frozen state (using SARS as the basis), 9 days on stainless steel, but only 4 hours on copper. Cardboard 3 days.

It is indeed viable in feces and urine, and has been proven to cross infect from plumbing ventilation systems in apartment towers where the vents are shared.

Do some actual research - try Lancelet or MedrixRv. Your info is disinformation provided by those who want us to not be careful. We can open everything if people understand what to avoid.
