evidence: WWG: The NIH researchers tested whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus can spread via fomites—which, by the way, is how you actually pronounce it. They sprayed infectious droplets onto cardboard, stainless steel and plastic. Then they checked the spatter as time passed to see how quickly the viral particles dried out and fell apart. [...] On stainless steel—think railings, shopping carts, gas pumps, jungle gyms—the coronavirus remained infectious for more than a day. [...] So we can get infected from people we never even see—from the fomites they leave behind.
