JJkizak Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 So what happens if an individual purchases a product made and sealed with contaminated air in China (or anywhere) then opens it in the USA? JJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Wasn’t that an episode of The Simpson’s? I guess it would give countries the “right” to ban ALL imports from China, or anywhere else they see fit, and as a result stimulate the crap out the domestic market! Everybody ready to work overtime?! On another note, let’s see, fentanyl and now Covid-19. Call it what you want. Sounds like chemical warfare to me...

This article states the virus can live up to 9 days on a inanimate surface.

polizzio Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Another article, same outcome: https://www.sciencealert.com/study-shows-just-how-long-coronaviruses-can-stick-around-on-a-surface So in theory one could ship via air mail corona from China to the US mainland. I bet the CDC is putting a 10+ day hold recommendation on all express mail from China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizzio Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 On the national news yesterday they stated there are 52 cases in the US right now. SO its here already. Gonna be hard to stop........best chance is get our greatest scientific and medical minds working on a vaccine if possible. 34 cases in the US 4 days ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/health/coronavirus-cases-usa.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizzio Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 CDC website says 14, updated daily. Who knows? https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html 8 days survival on an inanimate object is just crazy! Huge threat.

Straight up. Our government is a cluster f**k in so many ways! My niece is a Phd in biochemistry and molecular pharmacology, had her own lab @ Sloan Kettering in Manhatten for ~ 8 years cancer research and cellular development. Emily is a brilliant scientist....so what does she do? She is now working for the federal government in DC. Emily had several universities actively pursuing her when she graduated from HS. Full scholarship to Harvard plus $30k stipend annually. She was attending HS and college in NM before Harvard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I was wondering the same thing, how long could the virus "live" on a surface without a host. I need a front fender for my new-to-me 2005 Yamaha FZ6 and the best option is direct from china. The shipping time is about six weeks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Tire-Fender-Fit-for-Yamaha-FZ6S-FZ6N-Motorcycle-Fairing-Part-New/271711287822#shpCntId Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona, corona virus, - you might want to visit a doctor ? Oh well, I liked it — 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
