That one (and really most of your Covid-19 posts) really need to be in the Panic thread. You’re like a tornado siren, lady. :full_moon_with_face: :laughing:

(NEJM, March 17, 2020):
“Aerosol and Surface Stability of SARS-CoV-2 as Compared with SARS-CoV-1”

SARS-CoV-2 was more stable on plastic and stainless steel than on copper and cardboard, and viable virus was detected up to 72 hours after application to these surfaces … On cardboard, no viable SARS-CoV-2 was measured after 24 hours and no viable SARS-CoV-1 was measured after 8 hours. … On cardboard, the half-life of SARS-CoV-2 was longer than that of SARS-CoV-1. The longest viability of both viruses was on stainless steel and plastic; the estimated median half-life of SARS-CoV-2 was approximately 5.6 hours on stainless steel and 6.8 hours on plastic …

… Individual replicate data were noticeably “noisier” (i.e., there was more variation in the experiment, resulting in a larger standard error) for cardboard than for other surfaces, so we advise caution in interpreting this result.

(Perhaps) the touted Amazon “1-day Delivery” packages (could) function as a viral “Trojan Horse”. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
High intensity UV bombardment recommended (perhaps that’s why they dump them in the front yard) ?

We found that the stability of SARS-CoV-2 was similar to that of SARS-CoV-1 under the experimental circumstances tested. This indicates that differences in the epidemiologic characteristics of these viruses probably arise from other factors, including high viral loads in the upper respiratory tract and the potential for persons infected with SARS-CoV-2 to shed and transmit the virus while asymptomatic.

I’m guessing it all boils down to the almighty dollar. Shameful …and glad they made an example of the one in Tampa.
