The study by the National Institutes of Health, CDC, UCLA and Princeton University scientists in the New England Journal of Medicine shed new light on the surface stability of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. The research has not been peer-reviewed or published yet, but the findings were released last week.

The NIH study found that SARS-CoV-2 lasts for two to three days on steel and plastic. However, copper surfaces tended to kill the pathogen in about four hours.

Surprisingly the scientists discovered that the virus could survive up to a full day on cardboard, significantly longer than previously expected because porous surfaces are not typically hospitable to the microbes.

This virus is killing business. You don't know if you can touch the incoming mail or not. Business is way down in every sector, which is bad for the economy. And for what? A pathogen that has killed 149 people mostly over 70, according to this article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/coronavirus-updates-donald-trump-signs-emergency-aid-package-as-us-death-toll-hits-149-2-congressmen-test-positive-malls-closing/ar-BB11lRMs
In the United States, with a population of roughly 325 million?

Not even a drop in the bucket: hysteria?

Doctor Ron Paul seems to think so:

So ordering pizza delivery is worse than eating in at a restaurant that uses hard surface dishes.

That's nothing. I had a dog who could live for a week on cardboard.

Netherlands and Great Britain are the only two countries that have policies that make sense.

Every other gov't are a bunch of fucking idiots who do not understand that shutting down private businesses will make govt's go broke.

"In order to get herd immunity, you must accept the culls!" Fake compassion, white hat wearing politicians inflicting martial law, and bull-in-china-shop hand waving measures destroying the economic fabric won't work, anyway.

Seems the Globalists with their pumped organs of panic and market destroying political strategies, (fuck the people), are even a bit agog at what they are wreaking.

It is really excellent that individual countries like the Netherlands still have the power to choose their own responses so that we can get some comparisons and see what is effective.

When the world becomes globally ruled by global capital, we will all be their slaves. Halfway there already.

Globalists created this problem and they should be blamed for it.

The right answer is national autonomy, mostly local production, very strong borders, and mandatory quarantines when traveling from one country to another.

Well, yes, many people would say Jesus is the answer, lol.

Good for them. At least fundamentalist Christians are immunized against becoming fundamentalist Muslims, saving countless lives from Islamic terrorist attacks.
