Bratwurst (German: [ËbÊaËtvÊÉÌ¯st] ( listen)) is a type of German sausage made from veal, pork or beef. The name is derived from the Old High German BrÃ¤twurst, from brÃ¤t-, finely chopped meat, and Wurst, sausage, although in modern German it is often associated with the verb braten, to pan fry or roast.
Cold viruses have been shown to survive on indoor surfaces for approximately seven days. Flu viruses, however, are active for only 24 hours. All viruses have the potential to live on hard surfaces, such as metal and plastic, longer than on fabrics and other soft surfaces. In fact, infectious flu viruses can survive on tissues for only 15 minutes. Viruses tend to also live longer in areas with lower temperatures, low humidity, and low sunlight.
When one family member gets a cold or the flu, it seems like only a matter of time before everyone in the house gets sick. That got Michael Guccione of Naperville, Illinois, to wondering how long these viruses survive on surfaces, and if that's how they get passed from one person to another. Well, Michael, we asked Dr. Don Goldmann, an infectious disease specialist at Children's Hospital in Boston. He says cold viruses can live for up to six hours outside the human body. Goldmann: And they are spread by this sort of careless touching of contaminated surfaces.
