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.

Mehhh! More Covid porn from the media. Partial truths in reporting. Just because SARS-COV-2 lingers on surfaces, fabrics, etc. for an extended time doesn’t mean it’s still a live virus that’s contagious. Those tests only count the number of virus present; not the amount of viable (live, contagious) vs non-viable (non-contagious). They really do the public a disservice in their reporting!

They're good at that, but if you want actual important news go elsewhere. I find many in the media, like Gayle King, actually incite Black insurrection and anger with her reports.

even assuming the mask worked.. if you take it off the wrong way (touching the outside of it in the process) ... all you did was concentrate the virus in one spot and transferred it to your hands, which you will then touch your face with before long.

I haven’t seen a single person remove a mask properly to not get infected from the mask itself, or wash hands afterwards if they did.

Viruses land everywhere. A mask was never going to protect anyone.
