Norovirus can survive 42 days on surfaces

Norovirus can live on kitchen counters, doorknobs, and other surfaces for up to 42 days. It can survive hot and cold temperatures and many disinfectants. Bleach-based cleansers are best. Check the labels of your household cleansers to see if they work on norovirus.

.... no need to worry about it or clean surfaces. Herd immunity will take care of any concerns about spreading germs

Don't forget to have three classes of raw milk every day - each glass with a raw egg mixed in.

It seems like I get it almost every year. I think they're working on a vaccine. I will so ask for it ASAP.
