    • The coronavirus can survive on surfaces for up to 17 days, a study published Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
    • The study examines two public health responses to COVID-19 outbreaks on the Carnival-owned Diamond Princess ship in Japan and the Grand Princess ship in California.
    • The virus “was identified on a variety of surfaces in cabins of both symptomatic and asymptomatic infected passengers up to 17 days after cabins were vacated...” the researchers wrote.

    That's wise, but not sufficient. Just my profile on the site is highly infectious.

    That's probably because those nasty cabins are covered with all kinds of live tissue. Probably a bisexual bacteria gangbang going on at a level invisible to the naked eye.

    They should test for plague and polio or live Dinosaur DNA just for fun.

    Wife wanted to rent an RV a couple of years back. I told her she didn't want to. She said "YES I DO, YOU'RE JUST CHEAP"

    I said no you don't and I'll prove it. Took her to the rental place on the corner of sunset and gibson and walked her to the open display model.

    Told her to look in the nooks and crannies. There was scuzzy slime everywhere. I asked her what she thought the rest of them were like if the display was filthy. She wanted out of there ASAP.

    I am cheap but knowing she is a neat freak was the Ace up my sleeve.

    So you've been banging hookers in the display model during lunch or something? Seems rather specific, "honey, go look at this model at this address. It's really dirty!"

    Barfo likely has stories of burning infected ships back in the Bubonic Plague days.

    I'd play from 9 until 2 or so and then sleep for 4 hours. Sleep in car at lunch and then come home and eat dinner and fall asleep on the couch watching tv with my wife. She'd get so mad.

    I didn't care. I loved shooting helicopters out of the sky with my tank.

    They need to remaster that game if they want me to buy a PS5.

    Just an FYI that's mostly just a dude talking, but EA has announced Battlefield 6 is coming Q1 of 2021 so most people assume it'll be on the ps5 / and new xbox. I heard whispers that battlefield 6 was going to get a lot of time this year at e3 but with that canceled not sure when they'll show it off. I'm not into that genre of games as much as I used to be, but I'm really in tune with the video game news lol.

    It's strange to me that counterstrike is still ridiculously popular. Good game though.

    I'm really looking forward to the Final Fantasy 7 remake in a couple weeks. Course then I got an email from Amazon saying they'll probably delay my physical copy which I've had pre-ordered for years now... So, I'll probably buy the digital version and the physical version for my collection.

    now this is how to derail a thread

    getting back to topic, and considering I'm stuck at home, what does a virus do for fun for 17 days?
