Just came across that article a few hours ago:
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/la...
"It survives on surfaces up to 6 days at most."
More likely a few hours. It spreads in aerosols, not via surfaces.
As well:
https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/...
"... contrary to current opinion, rhinovirus transmission, at least in adults, occurs chiefly by the aerosol route."
So, all the extreme cleaning of offices, schools, clinics is just theater - useless.
As well:
"medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19" There are numerous disadvantages to health both short-term and long-term.
Paper- Facemasks in the covid-19 era: A health hypothesis, Vainshelbohm. Jan 2021. Elsevier.
Scientific papers in support of face masks- Anything? Nothing?
People who support facemasks, Fauci, sometimes.
There is no warning on the mask boxes specifically regarding this condition.
I find it interesting what the physiology will endure, and overcome on many occasion. I guess we will see how our species will prevail through insanity. I'm going to stand aside and watch the s**t-show for a while.
Did you note the date on the Oxford publication? 1987. A lot of these "Medicos" weren't born at that time. No wonder it is easy to influence their thinking....or lack thereof.

It is a good read.
And after that he waited patiently......and got even, and then some. This'll be a campfire story sometime.
Everything going on around us is either malice or stupid.

Efficacy of facemasks
The physical properties of medical and non-medical facemasks suggest that facemasks are ineffective to block viral particles due to their difference in scales [16], [17], [25]. According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] [16], [17], while medical and non-medical facemasks’ thread diameter ranges from 55 µm to 440 µm [micrometers (one millionth of a meter), which is more than 1000 times larger [25]. Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask [25]. In addition, the efficiency filtration rate of facemasks is poor, ranging from 0.7% in non-surgical, cotton-gauze woven mask to 26% in cotton sweeter material [2]. With respect to surgical and N95 medical facemasks, the efficiency filtration rate falls to 15% and 58%, respectively when even small gap between the mask and the face exists [25].
This is just an excerpt.....it gets a lot more interesting.
As a side note, a friend of mine was just Dx with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and wondering if all the maskwearing is a contributing factor due to hypoxia ... Or maybe even the vax ?
On top of this, I have been denied medical access for another condition, unrelated, because: "Doctor __ will not see you without a mask." A clear violation of Civil Rights Act, Affordable Health Care Act, the respective institutions published Patient's Bill of Rights, Impersonating an Officer of the Court, and in doing so in Wis "With concealed identity" (wearing a mask) constitutes greater penalty in the commission of a felony.
Trying to find a good lawyer in civil rights practice as District Attorney will not take this up.
