It spreads much in the same way as colds and flu.
Coronavirus can persist in air for hours and on surfaces for days: study
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-h...-idUSKBN2143QP
Quote:
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.

Nope, that's not what I'm saying at all. No surprise you willfully twist what you know I really mean.

Why stop there? Why not theorize this could be a permanent, year round thing lasting forever?
Sounds good to me...

We know what Obama would have done, wait 6 months and 1000 US deaths after the WHO declares a world wide emergency. Before declaring an emergency here in the US.

At least he didn’t say it was “under control” at campaign rallies.
And okay obama dropped the ball, what does that have to do with Hillary and how she would handle the crisis.

This way, the people get some much-needed short term relief...while the lending institutions still get their money. "Big business" got bailed out...right? And now the common citizen is told to "go home and spend time with your family"...as mortgage, car, and college tuition payments loom?
