Unless I’m misinterpreting this, quite possibly the scariest thing I’ve read in decades.
Is it just me, or has this thread become an echo chamber?

It is just you. This is a real discussion of a massive fatal disaster. More people just died of Covid in one day than died on 9/11. That is real and tragic and to a considerable extent avoidable but not avoided.

To a degree it has. I do not doubt this is a very serious pandemic and I am taking precautions. I wear a mask, I avoid gatherings, wash my hands raw and carefully select who I am around for any length of time. However I do not take at face value all that we hear from our leadership; medical or political. I think questioning is good and appropriate. It is not always received well here by some.
The virus cannot reproduce without a host. Every time someone is infected the virus reproduces. Every time the virus reproduces there is the chance that it will mutate and the mutation may be more or less virulent and more or less deadly. Those that don't take precautions and permit the virus to propagate and reproduce increase the probability that an even more deadly mutation will emerge.

Data shows that the virus can be transferred on material that can host it for a few hours. Most of this post is otherwise reality. It can mutate as seen in the mink cull.
Cash is almost verbotten in Canada and plastic cards are usually sanitized before handling.
My last speeding ticket, the LEO asked for the usual stuff and I showed it to him and he took a picture with his phone. He was very good giving me yet another ticket because he put it on my windshield so I could grab some sanitizer.
Manitoba was at 18% positivity rate compared to +40% two weeks ago. We are losing 1 in 49, that's 1(one) in 49(forty-nine) dying. Every person I know has now had a Covid touch of some kind and some have lost their grandparents, parents, spouse, and maybe a child.
For my neighbours south of me, take care of yourself first, make sure your family is following circuit breaker protocols.
You have thoroughly confused reproduction with transmission. They are not the same thing. A virus may exist on a surface for a period of time but it cannot multiply. A virus has no independent reproductive capacity. A virus must invade a living cell to multiply.

A surface does not host. You said a surface can host. This is not splitting hairs.I am confused. Where in my comments did I say it can multiply on a surface? It's been proven that Covid-19 can be transmitted on things like cash, credit cards and door handles. My comment about mutation was related to the mink cull in Denmark.
My comments about mutation mirrored your comments about mutation. For those unaware, 17 million mink were culled to prevent the Covid-19 mutation from spreading.
Latest data is showing that the trigger on the cull was first: illegal. Second: Data on transmission and mutation to mink was not thoroughly decided.
Splitting hairs about comments won't help this situation. What are you doing to protect your loved ones, neighbours or strangers?
PM me and I will share a routine that is inconvenient, polite, follows the rules and prevents me and my company to earn the income expected.
DY said a surface could host a virus. Not the case.I thought DY was referring to the farm-raised mink that was found to have contracted the virus and therefore “culled” before a possible new strain from the newly infected mink “escaped”.

I used "host" correctly in the context of viral reproduction. He quoted my post and reused the word. His statement was incorrect. No one should be left thinking that a virus can reproduce on a surface.I read it as the virus could be on a surface.

Well it started as the observation that not limiting the transmission of the virus increases the probability that it mutates into something worse. This is exactly what happened with the "Spanish" flu and we all know how that turned out.I'm looking forward to the next comment which doesn't require that I evaluate the reproductive qualities of Covid-19.
