IMPORTANT NEW DATA: “The virus that causes COVID-19 can survive on banknotes, glass and stainless steel for up to 28 days, much longer than the flu virus, Australian researchers said on Monday, highlighting the need for effective cleaning and hand washing to help combat the disease. researchers said that at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) the SARS-COV-2 virus was “extremely robust” and remained infectious. The findings add to evidence that the Covid-19-causing coronavirus survives for longer in cooler weather, making it potentially harder to control in winter than summer. Researchers said if the virus was placed on smooth surfaces at the standard mucus concentration of an infected person ‘enough virus would easily survive for two weeks to be able to infect another person.’” Virology Journal - Bloomberg News https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-11/coronavirus-can-persist-for-four-weeks-on-banknotes-study-finds

Most of the leaves are being blown off the trees without having changed color.
