Tests indicate coronavirus can survive in the air?

 This is alarming. I guess if your walking in a crowd and it's windy and someone sneezes then your at risk.

          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.

    Luckily, Ms. WT and I are retired and don’t have to go to work.  We’re cutting down on any unnecessary outings.  A little shopping as needed but otherwise, staying home and watching TV.  We’re going to maintain this for the next month.  We figure by then it’ll either get a lot worse or will improve.  We’ll reevaluate at that time.

      Just don't be in a crowd with the sunshine outside. A mountain man would have no problem.

    Can't all corona viruses survive in this manner to some extent? If not why do we still have the common cold and various flus? Bob
