The highly contagious novel coronavirus that has exploded into a global pandemic can remain viable and infectious in droplets in the air for hours and on surfaces up to days, according to a new study that should offer guidance to help people avoid contracting the respiratory illness called COVID-19.
Scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, attempted to mimic the virus deposited from an infected person onto everyday surfaces in a household or hospital setting, such as through coughing or touching objects.
They used a device to dispense an aerosol that duplicated the microscopic droplets created in a cough or a sneeze.
The scientists then investigated how long the virus remained infectious on these surfaces, according to the study that appeared online in the New England Journal of Medicine on Tuesday.
The tests show that when the virus is carried by the droplets released when someone coughs or sneezes, it remains viable, or able to still infect people, in aerosols for at least three hours.
On plastic and stainless steel, viable virus could be detected after three days. On cardboard, the virus was not viable after 24 hours. On copper, it took 4 hours for the virus to become inactivated.
In terms of half-life, the research team found that it takes about 66 minutes for half the virus particles to lose function if they are in an aerosol droplet.
That means that after another hour and six minutes, three quarters of the virus particles will be essentially inactivated but 25% will still be viable.

Oh Noes!!!!!!!!!
None of this is new. In fact the info is weeks old.
It’s not alive. Why couldn’t it persist for centuries, or millennia? It’s just big molecule.
How does that compare with other viruses?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Confirms previous corona virus. studies.
That story is bullshit.
Most scientific papers are wrong, and scientific “studies” done on the fly are probably wrongest of all.

WE ARE DOOOOOOOOOOOMED!..................................AGAIN...................
This is why we have been told to wash our hands frequently. Soap kills the virus.
This is still the best way to avoid getting sick with any virus.
A virus is not a living organism. Theoretically it should be able to live indefinitely.
This just in!...A recent study has confirmed that the corona virus will wait on the top of your refigerator and jump on to your head when you open the door."
So, it’s like the flu and every other virus.
Agree. They take facts and leave out other facts in order to spin a bull shit narrative. Evil!
Well, the story is sourced, by commonly respected relevant field experts.
Where is your link, to back up your *intelligent* claim, that is sourced by legitimate and creditialed scientific or medical experts?
A non-living organism would decay and be harmless.
Complex biological molecules typically break down from exposure to oxygen, sunlight, and temperature.
Simple fixes:
Stop Breathing
Cut your hands off
Pass these on to all the Liberals you are concerned about.
