Coronavirus Chatter

There's some German science people who've looked at the Coronavirus, and noted this one curious fact....in moderate temperatures, the virus can get onto a door-knob, and survive for nine days.

This comes from the folks at the Bonn and Greifswald Institutes. 

So one single guy can hand-grip the knob, and twenty-five people over the next week could touch the handle and get the bacteria?  Yes. 

More intense heat?  It'd rush the survival rate for the bacterial, and lessen this to maybe a day or two. 

Just think about elevator buttons, handles on the bus or train, or coffee pot handle at the resort that you are staying at.
