According to the CDC here's how the Coronavirus can be spread.
* the air by coughing and sneezing
* close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands
* touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes before washing your hands
* rarely, fecal contamination
With the shear number of Chinese products entering the U.S. daily, one would anticipate a strong need to confirm they are virus free.
Short of banning Chinese imports until the virus is contained I have not a clue how this could be accomplished.
Do I have legit concern or am I simply being hyper virus paranoid?

So this not as serious threat as Ebolacane? PS, glad to see your up early patrolling this morning.

Especially during flu season, put hand sanitizer pump dispensers in your home, your office/work, and car
Get in the habit of using them regularly.

This is the way the flu virus spreads. Flu lives on surfaces for 24 hours and tissue like hands for 15 minutes. The CDC will make recommendations. I am sure they have samples by now and we be along in a while.

So this not as serious threat as Ebolacane? Not even close. Though a lot of our weather patterns do form off the Japan coast. If there was an outbreak there, then I would send my team to do some research. Raining blood from exploded Ebola infect bats is a much larger concern.

Now that's scary, I always wondered how bat chit crazy was spread around.

This is how you get colds and flu almost 100% of the time. If you never touch your face with your contaminated hands you will very rarely get sick.

This is how you get colds and flu almost 100% of the time. If you never touch your face with your contaminated hands you will very rarely get sick. However most people do not know proper hand washing. With soap vigorously wash for 20 seconds (for the OT the time it takes to sing the ABC song).

Does anyone know how long the virus can "survive" on a surface at room temps?
