"The Effects of Temperature and Relative Humidity on the Viability of the SARS Coronavirus"

"The dried virus on smooth surfaces retained its viability for over 5 days at temperatures of 22–25°C and relative humidity of 40–50%, that is, typical air-conditioned environments."

Just to be clear, that's about the original SARS, not the novel coronavirus (COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2). I don't know of any studies about the effects of temperature and humidity on how long the current virus survives on surfaces.

Just to be clear, they are both related coronaviruses that are extremely similar on a molecular level. What would lead you to believe that things that are generally true for viruses and especially true for the highly related SARS-COV would not be true for SARS-COV2?

I didn’t say it was necessarily, or even probably, different. I was pointing out (because you chose not to for some reason) that you were citing a study from a decade ago about a different virus.

There was this one last month, but it was fast and fairly small and I don't think anyone's tried reproducing it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22611099
