>(Note to self: Figure out how true the temperature thing is.)

Well, if anyone know the answer to that question they haven't published
it yet. Or at least DuckDuckGo can't find their paper. I did find a ton
of 'research' on weather-related temperature issues involving the rate
of transmission, but that is not what I wanted. I was trying to figure
out at what temperature range can COVID-19 survive outside the body.
And even the weather-related temperature research was full of stuff
like 'may,' 'might,' 'possibly,' and so on.

Clearly COVID-19 can survive and reproduce inside a human body, but
once it's outside its host, what does it need to survive? Moisture?
Temperature range? If my car is left outside overnight and the
temperature drops to below freezing, can I assume that any COVID-19 on
it is dead by the following morning? What about putting food in my
refrigerator? And how long can it survive in these various
environments?
