Does anyone know how long the virus could stay on elastic bands for?

And if the virus disappears after three days, it could still bounce back. It's best to wash the rubber bands - but make it snappy! It could spread. The more you wait, the more you could elongate the period the virus stays on the rubber bands.

Probably last longer on the laggy band than the actual laggy band will last before snapping.

I've had new lacky bands snap on me the moment I go to use them. They're better then the old red bands though

I bounced back to this thread to read any updates, but I'm afraid there's too much tension here now. It might be best that I fling myself over to another thread where there isn't too much stress.

Shall we all band together and do this?

Is the Valium in your coat?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Sounds good but can you expand on how it would work?
Sure, I'll be happy to rebound back and pull together a few facts for you as soon as I finish binding up some documents. Just need to make sure this bundle of notes stays taut.
