VIRUS HITTING CLOSE TO HOME
"I don't have any symptoms, therefore I must not have it."
There in lies 50% of the problem.
9 days to live without a host (on a surface) and up to 14 day incubation time without symptoms once inside a host.
How many people can touch a surface (like a credit card reader, or a gas pump handle) in 9 days?
How many people can I then come into contact with in those 14 days after I touch that card reader?
The other 50% is the high mortality rate.
Those professionals who have done the actual math are scared.
