(18,690 posts)But it's a terrifying article if true. "Lingering" in the air for 30 minutes? How do you defeat a virus that can do this?

(18,690 posts)I wrote that it was an interesting and frightening article.
I just want to know if there is any other coronavirus that survives "in the air" for 30 minutes, as is claimed in the article.
Some of the claims made in the article should be inspected by people with expertise in epidemiology or virology IMO.
If that claim were true, that you could walk through a place where someone with the virus sneezed thirty minutes ago and get infected, and that most people who walked through that "cloud" before you became infected, you would expect an unimaginable number of infections. Much of the advice being given by the WHO and CDC would be a moot point. So far, no western experts have alleged this virus can survive for half an hour in the air.
Let's just see if the journal provides a sensible explanation for the retraction of the article. That's all I'm saying.

(3,996 posts)I found this article while doing hours of online research to try to explain the huge spraying of disinfectants into offices & streets etc
The 100% quarantine in China and now Italy. My spidey sensors sensed something more than is being reported.
That is how Infound this article and, quite frankly, believe China believes this study.
Time will tell. I hope and pray it is not true but believe it is. It is a case study of a bus load of passenger captured with CCTV infected

Is Trump's ego really so fragile he would rather put Americans at greater risk than let them learn the truth?

Stock market + re-election. That's ALL he's concerned with.

The South China Morning Post has reached out to the paper's authors and will update the article.
