[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 4240525, member: 76863"]There's been limited lab experiments on this type to date. Some of it is also what we know about the other strands as the corona itself has been around forever it's just the first time seeing this type of it. You obviously can't intentionally infect a letter and send it through and see what happens, but the lack of infections from it is a data point of it's own. Metal and plastics seem to carry it the longest, but still really haven't seen anything where we know it was for sure transmitted by touching something especially if someone is following proper hygiene and washing their hands before touching their face/mouth/eating etc. It probably has happened to some extent but appears by far person to person is the most effective way for transmission and even there without widespread testing we're just guessing to some extent based off of limited test numbers of those that are actually symptomatic which they say 80-85% who have it will never be symptomatic or just have mild symptoms. Not to be Debbie downer but it is also a positive in the sense that likely a lot more people have it than know it, but it is also almost certainly a lot less deadly due to the fact that many cases are almost certainly going unreported from having no symptoms[/QUOTE]
