So coronavirus is definitely going to kill a few of us.

Coronavirus can persist in air for hours and on surfaces for days: study

Reuters) - 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 - a day in which U.S. COVID-19 cases surged past 5,200 and deaths approached 100.

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.

The amount of viable virus at the end of the third hour will be down to 12.5%, according to the research led by Neeltje van Doremalen of the NIAID’s Montana facility at Rocky Mountain Laboratories.

On stainless steel, it takes 5 hours 38 minutes for half of the virus particles to become inactive. On plastic, the half-life is 6 hours 49 minutes, researchers found.

On cardboard, the half-life was about three and a half hours, but the researchers said there was a lot of variability in those results “so we advise caution” interpreting that number.

The shortest survival time was on copper, where half the virus became inactivated within 46 minutes.

so i heard 18% of the service industry is out of work or missing hours. thats... fucking wild.

In TX it is far more than 18%. Today, gyms, bars, restaurants, cardrooms, all shut down. I went to cancel my personal trainer but they locked the doors before their shutdown time of 5pm.

Because of this we just need to get it and move on or it will drag on and on and on.

No, If everyone gets it at once it will create a spike that will overwhelm the healthcare system and many more will die as a result. The precautions we’re currently taking aren’t really to stop the virus but more to slow it down. Pretty much everyone will get this eventually but staggering when people get sick will save lives. You also need to think about the trickle down issues from the hospitals being overwhelmed. Say someone gets in a car accident and needs a ventilator but no hospital can help them. Now that person dies when under normal circumstances they could have saved them. It’s the difference between what’s happening in South Korea impaired to Italy, look at the difference in death rates.

[Forum Wars]

For everyone who thinks the Italian situation will get worse before it gets better, well, technically yes, there'll be more cases, but it's gonna be like China and end there too.

Today, Wednesday, Israeli Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt said:

"Italy is already half way through the disease," he told Reshet Bet. "There has been a decrease in growth in the number of deaths in Italy in the past 2-3 days.":

Yeah, that's true. And they are probably testing more now, so the true drop in the growth per day there is probably higher. Don't mess with a guy who has mathematical models down.

Trump briefing incoming...get ready...he will cure this thing (in his own mind). It's obvious to many that this was gonna happen:


WASHINGTON—The White House considered issuing an executive order greatly expanding the use of investigational drugs against the new coronavirus, but was met with objections from Food and Drug Administration scientists who warned it could pose unneeded risks to patients, according to a senior government official.

President Trump tweeted that he is planning a briefing Wednesday that will pertain to the FDA. It couldn’t immediately be determined if that briefing would deal with expanded use of testing drugs against the virus.

Which is why Trump will fire him.
Nobody upstages the Trump.
Trump needs him to paint a rosy picture and reassure everyone that everything will be fine.
