[BlindTlk] Vitus living on braille?

[Ron Miller]

I suspect the longevity of the virus on standard 80 or 100 pound braille paper would be quite similar to its longevity on cardboard, which an oft-quoted study from the New England Journal of Medicine states is approximately 24 hours, depending on factors including temperature and humidity.

Not ever trying to suggest that we should stop reading braille but just out of curiosity has anyone tested to see if the coronavirus stays on Braille pages after they’ve been touched?

Thank you for any info.
