Virus survives 28 days in paper money

This is exactly the reason why I spray all the bills with a misture of alcohol 70% and water 30%, even though some friends laugh at me.

98% of infections are from direct physical contact with another person. For the remaining 2%, wash your hands with soap people!
If I were to get Covid-19, I would prefer to get it through surface contamination as the viral exposure/load would be smaller. But we don't get to pick and choose do we...

Unless you submerge the notes in the solution, it's likely ineffective due to the porous nature of paper.

All nonsense of course.
At this rate we might as well lock ourselves in a cupboard and never come out again.

If it survives for a month on surfaces, means every supermarket product , every door handle, every Uber , every bus surface , every medication, every resto surface, etc... Well in films where there is biological contamination they wear full head masks with air filters...! How long does the virus survive in the air?

The Danger it's in the air ..?

Am curious to know where does this stat come from? Last article I read is that it was airborne and most people get it from coming into contact with droplets in the air...? Hence the importance of doing things in open air spaces or distancing from one another as being key to reducing transmissions... I think it is an important subject to really understand as if we are not clear on how we can actually get it, we can never really stop it.

I don't think so but what are you doing about it?

To be safe mask that filters air is needed?

I know a Scottish based medical Professor...a lung specialist....he's always banging on about something regarding the virus. We should be doing this and that etc. etc.
I can't help get the feeling that these so called 'experts' always like to come up with something new to say to justify their professional positions. After all if they said everything was hunky-dory and Governemnts are coping well they'd soon be out of the media spotlight.

Avoid cash, wash your hands, avoid touching your face...
