Federally funded tests conducted by scientists from several major institutions indicated that the novel form of coronavirus behind a worldwide outbreak can survive in the air for several hours.
A study awaiting peer review from scientists at Princeton University, the University of California-Los Angeles and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) posted online Wednesday indicated that the COVID-19 virus could remain viable in the air "up to 3 hours post aerosolization," while remaining alive on plastic and other surfaces for up to three days.
"Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of HCoV-19 is plausible, as the virus can remain viable in aerosols for 42 multiple hours and on surfaces up to days," reads the study's abstract.
The test results suggest that humans could be infected by the disease simply carried through the air or on a solid surface, even if direct contact with an infected person does not occur. That finding, if accepted, would come in stark contrast to previous media reports that suggested the virus was not easily transmittable outside of direct human contact.
The way he said ah fukk
Legit, I think anyone in Trump's family that isn't on camera that often; Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric, will all change their last names in order to get away from the stench of having Trump as a last name. It's going to be our Country's "Hitler", won't even exist.

I been low key prepping gradually with my savings account for a couple years now in the event of a collapse of some sort. I don't have a lot, but I feel fairly confident for 6 months if needed. I don't have everything I'd like but Im about 85% there.Here's the thing, Jack.
