10-28 days on a surface, although I think you meant in the air, did you not?

A few weeks ago, I switched gyms because the one I do most of my training at is a university gym, and very popular with Chinese students. The one I train at now has an almost exclusively white client list. To the point one half expects to see people working out by the light of burning crosses
At the time, I did wonder if perhaps I was being paranoid. But yesterday it was revealed that at least three people are being tested for Bat Flu in Edinburgh. All are Chinese and at least one is a student...

It's not racist, although people could misinterpret it as such. The consequence is similar (avoiding people based on appearance) but the reason underlying the behaviour is different i.e. it's not based on belief of superiority/inferiority towards a race. The race and mask functions as an appearance-based heuristic. Masks suggest people believe they may be infected by the people around them (other Asians in their community, who may have visited overseas recently and we know often lie to border agents) and ten in one bunch is an easy reason to dodge (larger transmission vector). It's a very imperfect heuristic (infected people may look like anyone) but there's no reason NOT to implement it; there's no added cost to doing so.

Wow, that's a long time! Hearty mf'er.
Droplets will end up touching something and sticking eventually, but whether in air or on a surface both are "out of the body" like I said.
Where did you you hear the 10-28 figure? Have a link handy?

The blogger's situation:
January 22 – Faculty was warned not to visit Wuhan or ‘epidemic areas’ for the holiday. The office began gathering information about where people were and travel plans.
January 27 – The school announced it would be delaying Spring semester ‘until further notice’. Faculty are warned to delay their return to China if possible. We are informed we will be paid in February, but March is uncertain as the staff are delaying return to the office.
January 30 – All returning faculty are expected to undergo 14 days of self-isolation when returning.
January 30 (later in day) – Faculty and international students are asked not to return for ‘the near future’ until further notified. All returnees with or without symptoms must be isolated.
January 31 – the school is officially closed entirely. All people entering must undergo a health check, register at the gate, and bring ID.
February 4 – Reaffirm that faculty should not return until further notice.
February 4 (later in day) – Faculty ‘shall not return to school in advance before the first-level response of major public health emergencies is cancelled’. Those who do return must have a heath checkup, must inform the employer 2 weeks in advance, and must self-isolate for 14 days.
February 5 – Please don’t return.
February 6 – It’s better not to return. Many businesses are closed and shopping is difficult.
February 7 – Do not return until further notice. . . .
February 8 – School will resume with online courses likely around February 24. Faculty should not return until further notice.
And so on ever since. No new information regarding the timeliness of March salaries.

Watching the citizens get rounded up is super scary.
But I'm kind of glad they are doing it.
Better them than us.

China is problably the least sanitary country, people spit all over the place.
I don't think it's racist at all.

Well, people are being dragged out of their homes, people are being pulled off the street and loaded into boxes that look like dog kennels designed for humans, and most disturbingly, entire apartment buildings are being welded shut with the people inside.
At some point guns will be necessary with actions like that. Good luck trying that in America where there are over 300 million guns in circulation.

Yeah I know, I'm talking on the subject of people who do think that. There's been people in local media virtue signalling about how they're not afraid to approach predominantly Asian areas and saying that people who take precautions are racist and "ignorant". I know for a fact many people in my circle of acquaintances are going to be on the blind "it's racist" boat, just because of their SJW inclinations. Lefties have 0 sense of self-preservation, for themselves or culture at large for that matter.

This isnt genocide.
I'm just saying. The government does need to do everything they can (even the shocking round ups) to quarantine their citizens.
It's a good thing even though it absolutely sucks.

Yup.
The number one way we catch viruses and bacteria infections is by hand contact to something with the infection and then touching our mouth, our eyes our nose or even our ears which acts as a transport for the infection into our blood stream.
Simple hand washing (and even though I am not a fan) using those anti bacterial wipes, constantly when around people infected is your first and best line of defense.
But ya if someone coughs in your face and you breath in their moist particulate and it is airborne that is not good.
Wash, wash, wash your hands. No soap needed. No anti bacterial needed. 20 seconds under running water rubbing your hands vigorously gets them just as clean from contact infections. And pay attention to how many times you touch your face and try to stop it. Once you pay attention you will likely be shocked how many times casually you touch your face.

The government is making things worse. They are locking in suspected infected persons with family that are not suspected of being infected, ensuring everyone gets infected.
They are housing people who don't have the virus with people who have the virus in the same hospital wards. The infected persons are not in isolation. I read a recent news article that stated dozens of people who got infected, were infected in the hospital.
The CCP and its totalitarian mentality is carrying out a scorched earth policy.

I spent a couple of minutes googling. Will need to spend quality time googling. Will do it later today, as I am busy right now.
