but surfaces were never really a significant source of infection anyway- masks and ventilation much more important than studying surfaces. learnt that in late 2020 and i stopped disinfecting groceries then - i just leave it overnight before putting them away.

People still touching things that other people have come in contact with then sticking their hands in they nose and mouth afterwards before cleaning them? I though we passed that stage by now

Not quite.

Omicron lasts longer but not by more than 10% of some earlier variants.

Omicron on plastic

According to the study, when on plastic:

The original version of SARS-CoV-2 survives for 56 hours.

The Alpha variant survives for 191.3 hours.

The Beta variant survives for 156.6 hours.

The Gamma variant survives for 59.3 hours.

The Delta variant survives for 114 hours.

The Omicron variant outlasts the other variants, surviving for 193.5 hours.

Omicron on skin

The researchers also found that the different variants of the virus survive on the skin of cadavers for differing durations:

The original version of SARS-CoV-2 survives for 8.6 hours.

The Alpha variant survives for 19.6 hours.

The Beta variant survives for 19.1 hours.

The Gamma variant survives for 11 hours.

The Delta variant survives for 16.8 hours.

The Omicron variant again outlasts the other variants, surviving for 21.1 hours.

every country has to make decisions based on their own individual situation - it not a matter of 'well this country dropping all regulations, leh we do it too'.

UK is much more vaccinated AND boosted than us, in addition they would also have more natural immunity in part due to omicron surging, then coming back down just as quickly which indicates that some herd immunity was achieved.

While covid-19 cases have declined somewhat over the last two weeks, health experts are warning that there could be an impending wave of infection. The warning comes from several health experts after the Ministry of Health revealed last week that cases have been decreasing. Here’s more from Rishard Khan.

Nah
Cheaper to let people congregate in tents and stay home for two weeks waiting on test results.
