Fair enough, and this is one of the problems with getting quality news.
The underlying question I guess is, if you find the RNA, is it still viable,
i.e, can you contract the disease from it?
I consider the study released by the NE Journal of Medicine to be as
authoritative as any, and they indicate viable virus could be detected on
stainless for about 72 hours, though the virus titer was greatly reduced over
that time.
There are some additional studies out there, but I'm not seeing much in the way
of conflicting information.

So if we are going to be accurate:
SARS-COV-2 is an RNA virus that causes Covid 19 and the test uses the RNA from
the virus to test for its presence. It is very unlikely that there would be
any RNA around if it is not coming from virus. It is possible you might find
naked RNA without the rest of the virus, but unlikely, and that is the same for
all Covid-19 tests. When a patient tests positive, it means they are finding
RNA in the sample, not virus. There is presently no test for “live virus” as
there is no such thing as a living virus and no test for functional virus
except to infect cells in culture in a laboratory. Dave

Hey folks, please note that in the stories, they talk about RNA, not live virus
being found on the cruise ship surfaces.
Please, let's be very careful about sharing accurate information, and double
checking our sources!

And the good news was the virus was found to have survived 17 days on surfaces
on one of the cruise ships that had the issue (not sure which one), but instead
of living for hours, they are now saying it lives for days! YIKES.

That is not the only absurd aspect of the response to Covid 19. You can’t
access your boat nor can I go into my University office, which in both cases
there is no contact with other people. But I can go to the hardware store or
grocery store where you can’t help but encounter other people. That is the
situation in CT, anyway. Not logical or based on any science. Dave

How the hell is THAT going to work? My marina has about 20 live-aboards. I
don’t even see the point, when I am on the boat I am remotely close to any

That may be a state instruction. Talbot County is saying the same thing.

All the marinas in Kent County Maryland (Rock Hall, Tolchester, Worton Creek,
etc.) are closed for boat owners. The county instruction allow them to staff
with their own people if the maintain “social distancing”. So in at least some
cases you can’t work on your own boat but can pay them to do work.
USVI is closed to visitors too.
