Around a room temperature of 20°C, the coronavirus could last for 28 days on smooth surfaces, including phone screens, glass, paper money, and stainless steel according to a new study published in the Virology Journal (October 2020.) At higher temperatures, the survival time decreased as the temperature increased, and on cotton, the virus wasn’t detectable after 14 days. Some good news however: At 20°C, the half-life -- or the time required to eliminate half of the initial amount of the virus -- on paper money was about 2.74 days. After 9 days, 90% of the virus was gone. On cotton, the half-life was 1.68 days, and 90% of the virus was gone after about 5.5 days. So it looks like for paper money 90% of virus is gone by 9 days and 100% gone by 28th day, and on cotton clothes 90% is gone by 5.5 days and 100% gone by 14th day :) However, the study was conducted in the dark to remove the effect of UV light, which can inactivate the virus. That means the lab conditions may not match the real world sunlight. The surfaces were left undisturbed in tests, but money, mail and food packaging are often moved around, which could wipe off some virus too. In addition, the study tested how long the virus lasts on surfaces but not how long the virus particles are actually infectious. Influenza A, for instance, has been found to survive on surfaces for 17 days, but a virus begins to degrade once it leaves a host’s body. Other scientists have said the study could cause “unnecessary fear” because the virus mostly spreads among humans through respiratory droplets from coughing and sneezing rather than dirty surfaces, Ron Eccles, former director of the Common Cold Centre at Cardiff University, told BBC. “Fresh mucus is a hostile environment for viruses as it contains lots of white cells that produce enzymes to destroy viruses and can also contain antibodies and other chemicals to neutralize viruses,” he said. “In my opinion, infectious viruses will only persist for hours in mucus on surfaces rather than days.” Despite the limitations, the study may pose a reminder for frequent handwashing and regular disinfection of surfaces, especially during colder months (when coronavirus could last longer in colder temperatures.) “I wonder whether we’re going to see that COVID does spread more by touch in the winter,” Colin Furness, an infection control epidemiologist at the University of Toronto told CTV News. “I can't say that it does, but it’s entirely possible that it will.” Source: https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20201012/coronavirus-survives-on-surfaces-for-weeks-study Take care and wash hands, but don't let fear ruin life completely :(

covid19 survival rate is over 99.99%+ in cdc data for young healthy kidults our age... Hopefully for many among us, the fear of corona won't be worse than the virus itself :( Source: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html Infection Fatality Ratio† 20-49years old:0.00007 (Table 1.

으어미나... 확실히 이 바이러스는 혼자서 아무리 노력해도 안전한 병은 아닌거같네요... 열 안나는건 좋지만 어떤사람은 아예 증상 자체가 없을수도 있으니까요... 혼자 사는것도 아닌데 가까이 있던 사람이 아프다니까 걱정되겠다... 그래도 겨울이기도 하니까 너무 많이 걱정은 하지 않길 바랄게요

No fever is a pretty good indicator, but to know for sure she'd need to get tested negative. Keeping my fingers crossed she doesn't have the virus or at least that you didn't catch it from her.

Awww, the incubation period is 3 to 5 days on average, up to 14 days on some cases. Because of your life style you are probably safer than many, but going out and meeting people is not the only way to contract this crap. If you order a lot of package or food, if you get a lot of mails. Because it can live and last up to 28 days on some surface. It's nasty... But hey, it's still winter, because of the weather we can still catch a cold or anything else. I think your Pilate teacher should be more careful because of her job but fever is a good indicator.
