- U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Robert Redfield told the U.S. Congress on Thursday that his agency is aggressively evaluating how long coronavirus can survive and be infectious on surfaces.
He said infections contracted from surfaces rather than through the air could have contributed to the outbreak on the Diamond Princess cruise ship.Redfield also said the mortality of the virus could be lower outside of China. The World Health Organization has suggested the mortality rate in China is between 2% and 4%. Seasonal flu has a mortality rate of about 0.1%, Redfield said.
Robert Redford is a doctor? I love his movies.
The guessing game... But the one thing we can be sure of is that now that it reached America... a vaccine will mysteriously show up in a few weeks time... Just like it did with Ebola.
How long can it survive on a surface?
