Let me think about this for a minute.......I've assumed all along that the virus is all over floors because it remains suspended in the air for , what I have read and heard, 3 hours. Of course, I realize the bottoms of our shoes are contaminated with virus. My car and golf cart gas and brake pedals are also contaminated. Having said that, for the life of me, I can not imagine the virus can propel itself up from these surfaces and contaminate my eyes, nose or mouth. I may be wrong but I'll take my chances.
I am very aware that the floors are all contaminated with virus so I take special precautions when spot cleaning or washing the floors. Has anyone heard how long the virus remains viable on tile or laminate flooring? How about Chattahoochee river rock that is in my garage? Just wondering.
