In theory, I agree. But, I think that that would have to happen within a minute or 3. Once the droplet evaporates, there is no substrate off of which the virus can survive. So if they sanitize a surface an hour later, the virus is already dead.
Lockdown in Durham

I don't recall if there has been further research since, but I do recall back in March they were saying the virus could survive a pretty long time on the right surfaces.
Still, it's one more layer. Especially in high touch/high traffic areas.
You are still a hypocrite and an idiot....nothing change. .Lol ok I can see you are done. Thanks for trying Sakamuyoweak.
Say hi to Kitty and her friends for me and thankfully you've met your yearly quota of posts for a year in one night. Won't be hearing from you for a while. Not that you contribute anything
Yes. I recall that as well. However as more info comes to light, they have changed their opinions of several things. It is ever evolving.
In regards to surfaces, I have heard/read little snippets that it is now mainly aerosol transmission and surface transmission is fairly insignificant. Admittedly, I did not do any extensive reading.
No harm in disinfecting surfaces except that it increases costs which we know gets passed on to us.
Not sure that’s true. It certainly doesn’t die when it lands on a surface and as of October, studies quoted by the Canadian Government state it can live live up to a couple days. How trustworthy the government is at the moment is questionable so who knows.

My sources told me we would be on lockdown by the end of the week so timing is right.
TBH, I am not 100%. I agree that it doesn't die immediately, but once the aerosol evaporates the virus has nothing to live off of. IMO, 2 days seems like a long time.
