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

“I think 17 days is bogus, but what does the industry do to get customers back with crap like this?”
For starters, it needs to get SERIOUS RESEARCH done, research showing that the dose you get from a doorknob can’t do jack to you, research showing that even infected people cannot easily pass it to others, unless they’re showing symptoms or unless they’re in very tight, low airflow, quarters.
Short of that, kiss that business gone. They cannot survive scare-stories like this unless they get serious about fighting back.

Yes.
99.9% kill is not sufficient for infection prevention.

UV-C light?
Looking into it, if I can find the lights.
“They cannot survive scare-stories like this unless they get serious about fighting back.”
Sad when Some 20-something dude can use click-bait to spread fake news.
“99.9% kill is not sufficient for infection prevention.”
Source?
Also :
“...though it wasn’t possible to determine whether they caused any infections.”
Need to know the length of time it’s viable when deposited on various types of surfaces.
How do they know? They dont have any test kits.
Or.
Took them 19 days to get the test results.
Or
How many CDC employees to test for COVID 19? Nobody knows. They cant find any test kits.

Please provide a link to something better than a letter to the Editor written by an ‘independent consultant’ ....
You are rambling but that is ok. You got click-baited!
There was once something similarly used in a a NASA development program. Photoscrub 5 is a specialized filter from an SBIR program designed to thwart anthrax. A Japanese American joint research effort it was—pachinko parlor smokers really needed better air filtration.
I’m convinced everybody at the CDC has an inside game going.
The ones who don’t are merely interns and they will learn.
Try to calm down and don’t put words or assumptions on me.
Nope. Didn’t read it.
The CDC much like CNN, MSNBC
NIH says hours...

Why is this cruise ship the first time we've had any inkling?
The sucky part is that there are far more questions than a bald assertion and idiots will go into a new panic over it.
Society should be very wary of click-bait headlines.
“The CDC much like CNN, MSNBC”
ROTFLMAO! You got click-baited by CNBC with fake news!
