If you took the time to read the articles I added in my previous post, you would have noticed that test were done to determine that the virus survived up to 9 hours on physical surfaces, like metal, plastic etc..
I always take my time to read stuff and I always try to understand what I'm reading.
I gave you a link, not from a newspaper but from NCBI and the text clearly says

These observations suggest that the transmission of the virus from donors who are shedding large amounts could occur for 2-8 hr via stainless steel surfaces and for a few minutes via paper tissues
There is a huge difference between steel and paper just as there is a big one between survivability and transmission.
Also there a big difference between transmission from fomites to humans and transmission between fomites.

Yes, I read every post I make and I see 1000's of people dying of this virus and I want to see that Bitcoin can be used to make a difference.
Sorry, but to me, you sound like those people wouldn't have died if they have used bitcoin!
Are you seriously claiming this?
Do we really have to piggyback on every disaster or crisis, from a nuclear war scenario to an epidemic to show how bitcoin can save the world?
I'm starting to see bitcoiners are enjoying those lately.
Let me ask you this then:
Would you support a government ban on cash payments if they would use the disease spreading as an excuse?
You are placing me in the wrong box. Go look at my post history and find the posts that indicate that I am one of those people who are using major events to hype Bitcoin use, as you are claiming.
Fortunately for me, I have close friends that are working in the Health industry and they get frequent updates on the latest news about this virus epidemic, so I am quite informed about the latest things happening with this. They are very concerned and this sparked the idea with me to find a way for Bitcoin to help people to avoid physical contact with the virus.
This is why I used this in the thread heading ... " Bitcoin can save some people's lives :-> "
Just be open-minded about this and use your knowledge and skills to find solutions to prevent a disastrous global epidemic. Bitcoin can make a difference in some scenarios.
