I watch him every day. He gives updates, facts, numbers, plans, stories from the front line, and, most importantly, answers questions. I did not have a lot of respect for him until I saw how he is handling the COVID-19 epidemic in New York. He is amazing in this crisis. Wish I could say the same for the POS in the White House.

There's a fact-based, no-drama-Obama character that's so trustworthy. His explanations of every level of government -- from the virus itself, state processes in dealing with the social, scientific, political, economic and business impacts of it, and the future of all that -- that I'd trust him to head this country from now on out. He won't accept a party call to do it, but he's that good, nevertheless.

We're lucky to have him slap off the fake prez's previous day's phony, vanity pressers, and attack 45 back whenever he asks for it.

I thought I heard that.

Does that apply to indoors and outdoors?

Thanks.

I would also correct his question "How long can the virus live"? Because technically, the virus is known not to be a "living" thing, but simply a scrap of non-functioning RNA materials that can only replicate by taking over host cells. So they don't "live" on surfaces or air. They simply deteriorate at different rates if they make no contact with living cells.

They exist over time in living hosts (pangolins and bats; as yet unknown are other animal hosts) that don't die but, instead, harbor the virus.

Viral "shedding" takes place when the hosts live in market cages, are caught or eaten. Then human shedding and transmission begins.
