Nope.
From what I understand - people mis-attribute our poor reactions to this as the disease itself being really strong. It's really not.
Our poor reactions to it are due to it being new, and our bodies don't recognize it or have a memory of how to beat it.
As far as virus itself goes, it's a little b*tch. It's not clever and it doesn't have any new tricks.
It attacks the respiratory system, and it spreads by droplets (temporarily airborne or via contact). Nothing new about that at all.
There is zero evidence it is able to mutate or diverge in terms of multiple strains. That actually makes it quite beatable once we've got the vaccine.
Even with no tools and no prior memory on beating this, our bodies defeat the virus 98.5% so far in the US and that number is likely to rise.
This isn't Ebola lethal. It's not novel in how it attacks like HIV. Its not novel in how it spreads like the black plague. It's only a temporary threat (a big one) because we haven'r had it before.

Viruses outside of the host are really not that tough, even the worst like Ebola.
Any effective cleaning agent, if not diluted too much, will denature them.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
From what I've read this is completely false.Quote:

From everything I've read, soap kills it pretty easily.
The thing that makes this virus so difficult is largely due to how long people can be asymptomatic and carrying it without knowing it. If people who got it were sick immediately, it'd be a lot easier to contain it.

I thought I read where there are at least 8 strains of it?
Nope that .1% is post Malone
This virus is unusually long-lived on surfaces. It can survive up to 24 hours on cardboard, 3 days on plastics and steel, and up to 4 days on glass.
But everything I've seen seems to say it's easy to kill with regular soap and everyday disinfecting products.

What about on cloth? Like clothes and furniture?

I haven't been able to find anything on that. But if you can, please post it here.

This is what everyone needs to realize. You can actually handle stuff contaminated with the virus and not catch it, just don't touch your face before you thoroughly was your hands.
You can bring your mail inside and open it, just wash your hands after and disinfect any surfaces that came into contact with your mail.
I'd be far more concerned for the steering wheel in cars for everyone that has to drive to pick up their mail.
