WATCH: The virus that causes Covid-19 can survive on banknotes, glass, and stainless steel for up to 28 days at room temperature, researches find.

They've also discovered that it survives in such minute quantities on these surfaces that it poses no threat to a person's health over this length of time. But by all means, keep the fear spin going. How about some real news- like what's on Hunter's laptop?

Coronavirus A can live in litter for up to 6 weeks ... yes, it is a durable virus.

Very demonic stuff...who ever build this satanic virus is a jerk, Daanmm you Dudes! 😷👎👹🔥💀

They are full of shit at this point

BarbaraLeeDeFra This needs some clarification. The study by CSIRO states that it is not only room temperature but also in the dark and in perfect laboratory conditions.

So why wear a mask?

Yeah... in a lab...

Trump never had COVID-19

Then I’d say hiding from it is pretty much useless, wouldn’t you?

Research finds Hunter and Joe Biden have been corrupt much longer than 28 days. Hunters laptop hard drive proves that.

We’re fucked

Where is your lies about the Biden emails. I see MSNBC is trying to cover it up. If you keep covering this up or lying about it maybe someone will be forced to release some of the images found on the lap top. That could be embarrassing

Oh yeah it’s real serious!!!! 😂 😂 😂

But are they viable to infect people? Did my research for epidemiology paper, I am more a “it’s not that easy to contract Covid from fomites” kind of person.

If anyone is scared to touch them banknotes, they can send them my way.

This is why we need to microwave our money.

Also NEVER sees daylight.... give me a break.

OMG.. You people don’t know when to quit. 🤦🏻

So much for 72 hours....

What is this a photo of? My brain is not parsing it.

That's why it's crucial to clean surfaces and wash hands frequently. Simple.

Well that’s disturbing.

What is surprising to me, s that in such a prosperous country as the United States, still no use of ultraviolet lamps, practically nowhere and there is no sanitary cleaning with breach from people,during the daytime,morning, evening and lunch. Only at nighttime. Why?

And frozen......hahahahahaha

Why not just title this 'Fear-Mongering Report'?

🦠🚨🚨🚨CCPVirus CCPLiedPeopleDied

How long until we reach Walking Dead levels of absurdity and researchers start claiming that we're all born with Covid-19?

So is this a new report? Is this new information?

Damn its terrible 😮

Bullshit. They haven't even isolated the virus and proven that it exists. They're getting false positives from papaya fruit and goat again.

youd almost think this was an article promoting a cashless society?

Oh shit. Now I’m depressed.

Next month researchers are going to say Covid-19 can survive up to 60 days on surfaces.

⚕We can protect you and me. 1️⃣Wearing a mask 2️⃣Social distancing 3️⃣Hand washing 4️⃣Restrictions of gatherings

Interesting

Please reasarch yourself in Quran

Thank is why hand washing is an important part of wear mask, social distance and wash hands. It takes all three all the time. Easily done with a 'little' effort.

Weren’t we told not long ago that it wasn’t as transmissible on surfaces?

Nonsense

Soooo...why aren't a lot more people sick?

So, sooner or later...everybody is going to catch it?

Bull. Shit.

Whats next? Sonic frequency disrupts virus when you chant 'Black Lives Matter' and 'All Cops are Bastards'?

Turn up the Covid scare porn! Getting close to the election.

When can we see a steady supply of disinfectants? I've only come across a few here and there since April.

Causing fear NBC should be ashamed. Trump2020

Makes sense. I remember seeing video from China where they were spraying down piles of money at a bank. Think I last had cash on me in April. All debit card since then.

We are learning more about this virus hopefully everyone will keep disinfecting and wearing a mask social distancing 🙏🏽♥️

Well we’re all screwed then

I spray my masks (LIGHTLY!) with disinfectant spray every single time I use one, and then let it air dry. I usually wipe down bottles with disinfecting wet wipes. I guess.. I need to start spraying cash too? Jeebus.

And another thing they were wrong about

Well there ya go there is no way masks can stop it...we will all have to be exposed before it is going away...

But the viral load is not capable of causing infection. You need to stop the fear mongering. You know nothing of viruses and science and shouldn't be reporting on things you know nothing about.

What I find is ridiculous is that distributors are giving first dibs of all essential items to Walmart over other stores from what they've said. When we're in a pandemic shouldn't it be distributed equally to all?Even at times like this Walmart hurts American businesses for money

The article told you to use MORE disinfectant Business as usual lol

Restructure the country now. Take all high risk people from front workers. It’s not zombie apocalypse it’s virus

So now masks are really irrelevant? Make up your minds.

Go ahead and tell us it will be mandatory to wear gloves next.

But not discarded masks all over the ground? Bullshit.

But a mask, or a protest, stops it cold.

Reminds me of an article CNBC put out in March..

So wash your damn hands!

Hence...wash your hands thoroughly & often so you don't absentmindedly touch your mouth, nose or eyes (2 of which not possible if properly masked up around others). Regularly disinfectant surfaces in your personal spaces, e.g. home, work area. It's not rocket science, folks.

So the mask isn’t really going to help

Man this is communicating a completely different impression than how people actually get COVID. This is click-bait.

BREAKING: Coronavirus can live up to 28 days on counterfeit $20 bills dropped in a Vegas collection plate this morning.

Clean with bleach, it won't last.

Awful news. We have to kill this thing

I’m in the medical field and am so used to wiping down surfaces that I automatically started wiping down my groceries when this thing started and still am.

That’s why you wash your hands

Also the incredibly small particles fly through masks..

This is pure bullshit and undermines the true ways people can be infected

Title is very clickbaity and fear mongering. The study concluded the virus lasted 28 days at 68F in total darkness. The virus was not exposed to any ultraviolet light (ie sunlight) which scientists say kills the virus sooner on surfaces. This is only scary news for cave dwellers.

Copper surfaces are better than stainless steel

Stfu. Disgraceful fear merchants

Bank note different than paper? Like I think we touch paper a good amount

The cocaine community is gonna take a real hit on this one.

What is considered room temperature?

Old news try again

These are lies just stories to scare people

This virus is like nothing else ever created. It has the whole world on its knees. We have PPE to protect us but the PPE is not made in the US. Very scary.

Without a vaccine we're all going to get this eventually. And not because of what Putin just said to the Russians do I say this. Its been clear to me and probably to others for weeks now. That said, I fully expect a vaccine to arrive before that happens.

They are going to take our cash. That's what this is about

Wash hands AND don't touch your face, nose, eyes or ears.

Fear mongering. The report also said under laboratory conditions. The chances in a home environment are not likely. Still I agree wash hands and surfaces

Why not just make it 100 days already? 🤷‍♀️

It doesn’t matter if it can live on surfaces for 10 seconds or 10 months. If you wash your hands frequently and don’t touch your face, you will be fine. Also simply finding it on a surface does not mean it can infect someone. Depends on how much of the virus is present

Is this the same research that decided that PCR tests were effective? Or lockdowns? Or masks? I think I’ll go with the research that says 100% of MSM are liars and corrupt to the core in the name of profit.

And it took these 'researchers' 8 months to figure this out and they want us to follow the science their is no way of containing the spread all were doing is prolonging the inevitable

So you touch that then take off your mask; on and off, etc, you are now bring the virus to your face and mask

Guess I should be dead by now Why am I still living? What is the science for why IAM still alive Please explain this!!!

On the skin likewise and since pandemic broke out, we Germans pay only with card!

The virus is covid19

Maybe everyone should start washing their hands. Has that been tried yet?

It's amazing that the 28th is not the 3rd.

Nigerian youths our demand

Is it still infectious?

So....on items imported from China?

Tomorrow it will be different. Just move on to other world affairs and stop driving us crazy.

JoR3LofKrypton Where y’all getting these experts? You do realize you have posted the total opposite? FakeNews

Stop reporting unknown facts.

It took Fauci forever to confirm that people with no symptoms can spread the virus, followed by months of debate on whether we should wear masks. Aren’t these common knowledge? If you compare the media between Taiwan and US you will see how slow and inadequate Fauci and CDC is.

well not strange

Where is the actual research? I really want to read what methods were used to accelerate the viral replication and the sample sizes of the data.

CALL IN THE FREZZER TRUCKS uh everywhere?

Cover Hunter Biden scandal

Whelp, I guess that’s the last fact we need to convince everyone to never leave our homes again! What a relief! Thanks !

Can u b impartial, sickning

All the experiments were done in the dark because ultra violet radiation (sunlight) can kill the virus.

JackieC1989 Crap, were we supposed to be washing our hands still?

Better lock yourself at home

Show of hands from everyone who washes their hands for a full 30 seconds. Ok, now would the LIARS please put their hands back down. Maybe not washing hands PROPERLY then making a sammich then eating it is more of the problem than people not wearing masks in the car alone.

This study is most likely not relevant for the general public. This study was conducted in an environment which is not so common in the normal every day life. Its Just like the range on EV... Looks good on paper but not in real life

I’m sick of this virus

it is really a strong guy.

... and we dont care for since its lost its principles

We need to check Trump's toupee!

Fake news NBC

Which of these are different? Clearly paper

Make your fucking mind up it was 72hrs not so long ago 28 days was in a laboratory setting

It's why I do not touch door handles with bare hands & I clean my desk frequently. If you wait for CDC & politicians ... mmm ... they told us we didn't need masks while the Chinese were masks

Not to self, sniffing, huffing or otherwise inhaling money, glass or steel is OUT. Safe now.

It's taken 6 months to figure THAT out?

so build yourself a bubble, live in it, and shut up.

I read a new number everyday. 3 days, a week, 9 days, 2 weeks, now 28 days. It's things like that, that make people skeptical.

Under laboratory conditions. JFC. You're turning into FOX News.

but you told us is was airborn

BS digital dollar agenda.

Soo lots of dead workers and teachers and ect. What is your point?

Best advice :

Listen to the video. This is FearMongering. Not likely in the real world, only under controlled conditions. The amount detected not enough to cause illness. As has always been true, it IS good to wash your hands & disinfect, though.

It looks like a battle in the scientific community is happening. They continue to publish science that contradicts what they say. 80 degrees kills a virus was said in the beginning. Cleanliness is next to Godliness soap and water will do the body good.

Attacking cash for total surveillance in a cashless society

No shit? And the latest CDC report shows masks absolutely to NOT work. Wash your hands folks. Don’t touch your face.

Source?

I been using my Apple Watch to pay for more stuff everyday 🤣😂🤣

But some how the postal service is ok...

Great...

More fear mongering from the media...yawn...

Wash your hands and move on with your life.

Where gloves or wash hands often.

Norwalk

I feel like I read a study claiming the exact opposite just like, yesterday

Live in fear with JoeBiden

I'm not putting banknotes up my nose all THAT often, I'm probably fine

😱😱😱

FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR OMG EVERYONE BE FEARFUL

28 days later

Hey! DID YALL SEE SLEEPY JOE IS RUNNING FOR THE SENATE AGAIN. NOT WORKING!!!! You will be defeated in a landslide TRUMP2020

Lock the world down again ! It’s not safe until we kill the virus and all viruses completely !

If this were true, we would have had 100 million cases already not this slow march to 2% of the population and the number of cases wouldn't have declined in June.

Fantastic.

In laboratory settings, not real life

Isn’t this the study that found this is true in complete darkness? Which even the researchers said negates the effect of IV light at breaking down the virus. At least have all the facts out there

So what now, masks AND gloves?

Hard to believe

Now everything has to be converted to a contactless system.

This study was performed in the dark. In real life, there's UV light which minimises the time to 3-7days as previous studies reported.

This was known back in March/April. Why is this now a story in October? Every surface is subjected to hosting airbourne diseases.

For some value of “can survive” which means what exactly?

And chynas economy is starting to boom. chyna is profiting from biological warfare declared by them on the world.

Adds a twist to the term 'laundering money' huh? No worries though ... few have banknotes these days. 😷

Very much understandable because it was engineered to behave that way - different from other known pathogens

We should all have it then.

Great that the survival rate is very high, isn't it?

PANIC!! FEAR!!

Argh

4xInsight Nobody cares.

Absolute nonsense. The pure virus in a controlled setting, maybe. In the real world, not even remotely close.

This is dumb

I am sure the stainless steel pot on the stove will fix that bitch Covid. 🤣

and on 29th night it will turn into pumpkin.

This is in direct contradiction to CDC findings from earlier this year

Meanwhile all those bat eating, pangolin slurping bastards are acting like they “didn’t do nuffin”

No it can’t

Please 😂🤣😂 gets more and more ridiculous every day 🤡

WHAT. THE. HELL

How is Joe going to blame Trump for this?

Fortunately contracting covid-19 from touching surfaces is very unlikely. The anxiety about this early on turned out to be mostly unwarranted.

$sint silicon nitride would prevent this. Kill on contact!

Strong little bugger.

Turns out nothing stays at “room temperature” for that long anyway

Guess we should all just hide in our bathrooms for the rest of our lives. That or I just won’t lick windows.

This and the President will not show his positive and negative test for the virus and will not show his X-rays is why you can tell he was faking having the virus 🦠. He did it for Sympathy.

It also survives when people from blue states travel across the country for vacations like they did all summer.
