I can’t find the chart on that link. Some interesting articles however!

See this title roughly in the middle:

“This is how the reports calculate the survival rate of viruses, in hours, on non-disinfected surfaces:”

That is what I am referring to as a chart. It is very useful for those who can set aside plastic groceries for 3 days and glass jars for 5, rather than bringing them into the living area and wiping them down.

I don’t seem to be seeing the same thing Yuck. Under which article is it?

Newdawn-could your issue be that your not in North america?

[Newdawn Administrator in reply to Hidden]

No idea but there’s some very useful articles there, just nothing relating to surface risks.

[Newdawn Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Ah well not to worry 😊

See article one and count in 21 paragraphs. Sorry you are having difficulty. The chart has arrows that point straight down.

[Newdawn Administrator in reply to Yuck]

This is article one that I see;

‘Acting Navy secretary is out after bungled firing of USS Theodore Roosevelt's captain’

This is article two;

‘New data on New York coronavirus deaths: Most had these underlying illnesses; 61% were men’

Is this what you see?

Hello Yuck

Does the Aerosol mean aerosol can or air borne cough?

[Yuck in reply to Big_Dee]

Aerosols from a cough can travel 6 meters. Aerosol sneezes travel even further (from reliable U.S. sources). Aerosols are the tiniest expression of the virus size-wise, much smaller than droplets.

Hubbie reckons it could be geographically locked so IVFN could be right!

I've added in the time line image.

Here's information on the transfer risk via clothing, which includes washing information which extends to safe use of public laundromats and how to handle the washing of someone who is ill with suspected COVID-19.

If the virus can survive 4 hours as aerosol in the air, I'm not sure what that implies and how social distancing helps...
