Current Events > Can someone answer these kind of stupid coronavirus questions?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Or at the very least point me in a direction where you can ask questions. I'm a bit drunk, but I want to ask these questions and I figure asking them drunk is the best time so I won't feel that stupid for asking them.

They recommend daily cleaning of common touch points. If I don't have coronavirus and I decide to go a week without leaving the house or letting anyone in, do I still need to?

I have an electric dog fence that lets my dog freely run around the yard and sometimes kids play with her. I know dogs can't catch coronavirus, but can they physically carry it on them? If so should I not let her out as often? She's an old dog, so it wouldn't bother her.

I've seen conflicting stories on air ventilation. I guess some experts say to not use an air conditioner and instead just open a window. Is either option really better or worse than the other?

I would. If nothing else, cause you may not show symptoms until two weeks after catching it

Not sure about the other questions though

Coronavirus can survive 10 days on hard surfaces i believe the most recent studies show. I suppose they could survive on a dogs fur? Dunno

Not if you live alone and nobody visits. The idea is to minimise spread within households

Yeah if there are droplets from the kids' hands or from coughing/sneezing, they could (theoretircally) hang around for days on the dog. You should still take her out for walks and spend time outside, just try to avoid other people.

Window is good.
Most air conditioners I wouldn't expect to make a difference one way or the other, but if you live in a multi-unit building that shares ducts, it's probably best to avoid using that for a while.

Wow didn't expect to get any real responses. Thanks for the help.
