A new study has revealed that the virus which causes COVID-19 can linger on fabric, such as clothing or upholstery, for up to three days.

Between polyester, a poly-cotton blend and 100% cotton fabrics, the polyester posed the greatest risk, even after 72 hours; on full-cotton samples, the virus lasted one day, while the poly-cotton blend remained contaminated by viral droplets — designed to mimic human saliva — for just six hours.

So reusable fabric masks we were all told to wear are carriers of the virus now?

always were, since nearly no one wears them right, or takes them on or off properly to prevent contamination in the process.

Thankfully Trump turned a two year pandemic into a one year pandemic which is about to end:

Where’s Kozak?
He has to be cowering under his bed - now used masks are toxic waste and what’s worse, you can’t leave a T-shirt in the laundry basket either...

As I live with medical personnel, we have always assumed it lasted 3 days on clothing.

SOP for medical personnel to change immediately upon return from work, shower, and do laundry separately.

I am so sick of this crap. Over a YEAR in and they have “discovered” this with a new “study”? This is just to perpetuate the hysteria and the totalitarian wet dream.

Nudity is the answer.

All the folks in the retirement homes running around naked.

Communist/Democrat Party mantra:

Must maintain covid-coward fear
Must maintain covid-coward fear
Must maintain covid-coward fear ...

and it continues to work on the tens of millions of American covid-cowards who really, truly believe their mask talisman is protecting them from the evil spirit unleased by the Communist Chinese and which the talisman will continue to do so as long as they wish really, really, really hard for it to do so.

This should have been resolved at the beginning, one year ago.

This is a “study.” A study is not established science, but the result of one experiment that got published.

Betting the media grab this and use it to instill anxiety for the next 3-4 days until they find something else.

The crisis is too good to let go of just now. They can get 6 months to a year more out of it.
