RE: By attaching themselves to objects like plastic and other materials, viruses may survive in freshwater.

Nice to read from you again! I hope you had a nice summer time!
This blog shares a scary news. I thought viruses usually die on material surfaces. Do we know how general is this finding? To which extent does it generalise to viruses of any kinds?
Cheers!

Ahh, we are still in the rainy season here and agriculture is dropping in good measure too.
Yes, you're right. But as far as this is a new finding, those who led the research highlighted that those viruses without a coat (rotaviruses and noroviruses)are able to persist and survive while attaching themselves to microplastic.
I see. Thanks for the clarifications!
