Monica Gandhi, a professor of medicine at the University of California, said ‘the surface issue has essentially gone away’.

She added that any virus left on surfaces was not usually strong enough to make people ill.

I've gone back to normal hygiene 2 months or so. Was hyper active at first about washing hands and touching handles and stuff. Basically wash my hands when I piss and shit and that's about it. And before handling food I'm cooking for someone else including my family. Before I'd hand sanitize after exiting any public establishment. Maybe it helped. Either way, I don't believe I got Covid. We'll find out next week. Doing the active and antibody tests.

A virus is set of genetic instructions, not an actual living organism. They don't eat anything, and they don't leave waste. All they do is infect the host and make copies of itself.
To say "Not Strong enough to make people ill" sounds like Bullshit to me. The virus is either viable or it isn't. If it dries up and whither away, then it is not a threat anymore. If it is still moist and has all of its moving parts, it can infect. How long it can survive is the question. If it can remain viable wafting in the air, then it can be viable laying on a surface if not for just moments.
