That's true..but the bothersome thing according to the latest news I have read on it is say someone sneezes/coughs on a doorknob for example. They are saying now that this is one hearty virus, and has the ability to stay alive for THREE hours exposed like that. Thus easy for someone to touch the doorknob, stick finger in their mouth etc. That's why they advise EVERYONE to wash their hands a LOT!
Btw..just an fyi..hiv, which is by far more dangerous..can only live in exposed air for a few secs. Weird how different virus's can be.
