Days after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) wore an enormous gas mask during a House floor vote on an emergency funding package for the coronavirus response, the congressman announced that he would self-quarantine for 14 days after coming into contact with a Conservative Political Action Conference participant who tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

I saw the video for that on twitter. She's in full-on tinfoil hat mode.
Federally funded tests conducted by scientists from several major institutions indicated that the novel form of coronavirus behind a worldwide outbreak can survive in the air for several hours.
A study awaiting peer review from scientists at Princeton University, the University of California-Los Angeles and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) posted online Wednesday indicated that the COVID-19 virus could remain viable in the air "up to 3 hours post aerosolization," while remaining alive on plastic and other surfaces for up to three days.
"Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of HCoV-19 is plausible, as the virus can remain viable in aerosols for 42 multiple hours and on surfaces up to days," reads the study's abstract.
The test results suggest that humans could be infected by the disease simply carried through the air or on a solid surface, even if direct contact with an infected person does not occur. That finding, if accepted, would come in stark contrast to previous media reports that suggested the virus was not easily transmittable outside of direct human contact.
Yep. The c**t was actually trending on twitter. Here's video of him being a c**t: https://twitter.com/pragmactivist/statu ... 2727284736McAvoy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 3:25 am No basketball for us Americans. The season has been suspended. March Madness (college basketball) will be played without fans in the seats. Hockey the same.
What caused the NBA to suspend their season was because a player ended up getting it. But two days ago he mocked it by touching every microphone. Karma I guess?
Hardy little bugger, isn’t it. Update from my end, the co-worker who thought he had it? Tests came back negative today. Doesn’t put anyone in the clear (not really) as you pointed out, it’s not only resilient, its morphing into other forms of communicable transmission.Nutso wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 1:53 am Okay, this bitch might be airborne now. This study awaiting peer review indicated that the COVID-19 virus could remain viable in the air "up to 3 hours post aerosolization," while remaining alive on plastic and other surfaces for up to three days. Previously it's been thought that it survived in the air through liquid droplets.
