Sigh... just more misinterpretation by journalists without scientific training. Headline is wrong. RNA was detected for 17 days, not live coronavirus. You can detect nucleic acids from Neanderthal bones too. Anyway it's nice the CDC provides support for the 50% asymptomatic rate

I think you are too optimistic, it is not clear if there was live virus (more research is needed). [Also, the same text says that only 18% of the infected passengers are expected be asymptomatic over the course of the entire infection.]

An enveloped virus is not going to live for 17 days given a half-life of a few hours (unless you start with an unnatura sh$tload of it); this was proven in the NEJM study

I noticed that your assessment (in the slides) of the life of the virus on surfaces is a lot shorter than what I read elsewhere. Eg, you put it at 1h on cardboard, other sources at 24h? Do you think that the survival rate of the virus is overestimated by most sources?

Thx for the question Joscha. I had a mixup between sars1 and sars2 virus on one version of the slidedeck. 10% survival on cardboard is 4-8h for sars-cov-2. This corrected in the current version (pinned post).

Is 90% reduction in viral load enough to consider it safe?
