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

“This is like a super bug it seems.”
So you assume there were no other viruses present?? You would eat off any surface in there after 17 days because no other bug could possibly live that long?
“Somebody at the CDC shorted the stock.”
Somebody (dfwgator) got click-baited!
It's an 'enveloped' virus, meaning it has a lipid membrane layer around it. HIV is the same, except HIV gets this envelope by 'budding' out of cells through the cell membrane. Coronavirus gets out of cells, and gets its envelope via the golgi apparatus and associated vesicles in cells. That's why hydroxychloroquine can potentially help, as chloroquine alters golgi function and the vesicles. All viruses have nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) encapsulated within a protein capsid. The enveloped ones just have the lipid membrane layer on the outside of the capsid. In general, non-enveloped viruses are thought to be more resistant to 'drying' over longer periods, but this isn't a hard and fast rule. It's probably more than you want to look at, but in case you want to have a scotch and read about viruses here's a link to an article that addresses enveloped vs non-enveloped viruses and their survival. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4462923/
(.1% = 1/1000) of 10,000,000,000 is 10,000,000.
“CNBC spreads fake news”
Thanks. Obviously not surprising.
Trump figured it out.......Impeachement part 4.......
I’m sorry. I don’t believe this for a second.
And I even have my CDC credentials from Ovaltine.
After a day of mostly postive news we have to have this. My question, which wasn’t addressed in this article, is if the virus is still viable after 17 days?
If you don’t clean....
The CDC sees this as a wonderful test lab for themselves. They aren’t looking at overall effects
Yeah bug I bet that didn’t take place
Fake news and a communist plot to attack the President. Must be, it fails to fit my narrative.
Thank you so much for the link and great suggestion on the reading aide! This is exactly the thing I’m looking for
Bingo! That doesn’t sound like a natural organism. It appears to be manufactured for maximum damage.
“And I even have my CDC credentials from Ovaltine.”
Do. you have your fake news click-bait credentials?
“Bingo! That doesn’t sound like a natural organism. It appears to be manufactured for maximum damage.”
Sounds like click-bait fake news.
“After a day of mostly postive news we have to have this. My question, which wasn’t addressed in this article, is if the virus is still viable after 17 days?”
That would the expose the CNBC click-bait fake news.
That’s one heck of a flu, bro.
...Although these data cannot be used to determine whether transmission occurred from contaminated surfaces, further study of fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2 aboard cruise ships is warranted.So fomite transmission might or might not have occurred in the past. What testing was done of samples from the ship right after they were obtained?
Color me skeptical, the CDC couldn’t even test for the virus correctly the first time.
