The virus responsible for the disease might be able to live for even months to years inside scabs, a U.S. report says.

    I continue to be absolutely shocked, gobsmacked even, that a virus similar to smallpox continues to show properties similar to smallpox

          A tube full of hamburger meat is my all-natural alternative to the COVID vaccine. Just one tube has enough antibiotics to last several months as long as you don't cook it.

    Also i'm really glad everyone blew their effort load in 2020 when it comes to sanitizing surfaces, an act they then associated with useless security theater, because for covid it was. Very cool that nobody is now doing that when it matters

      I'm doin it now, my roommate looked at me funny but I talked about how this one could actually stay on surfaces and last time we were just careful until proven otherwise.

      "you can totally still go in public though, just wear a mask and cover your scabs" - also the CDC

      Porous materials, like cardboard!

      Won't be great when some amazon package centre person gets it.

        Man this is it. Amazon will force workers to work even if they have a "little rash". A couple scratch's and hundreds of packages later... We've got it truly exponential. The lathe spins.

      My bad, I specifically expressed hope that it wouldn't survive in cardboard the other day and I guess the lathe picked it up

      My kid was just learning how to put head under water and attempting to swim at the local big public city pool.

      We just stopped going.

      Two and a half years ago we we were all wondering how the pandemic was going to effect young kids’ interpersonal development and aptitude.

      Now on top of that I’m also wondering how they’re being thwarted with development in skills like this too.

        aw man. if it's any consolation, chlorinated water is supposed to kill pathogens. I was just making a stupid Habbo joke

            Yeah why don't you pour this ammonia into that pool of bleach over there, that should do the trick

    In addition, people can catch the virus from infected animals, including their meat.

    One more reason to be a vegetarian.
