I'm leery of counterfeit N95s now. That the virus can survive 9 days is really scary.

Depends on a lot of factors, but preliminarily it seems that on most surfaces it's dead in a half hour or so and in optimal conditions it's good for about 4-5 days.

Coronaviruses can probably live for up to 9 days on common surfaces, but not necessarily THE coronavirus. They also don't have any idea how effectively the virus can transfer from various surfaces to a human.

This is the operative quote about the 9-day study:

The study has limitations since the team only reviewed studies and data from other types of coronaviruses to land their conclusions.

Some of the veterinary coronaviruses - the ones that can only infect animals - could even persist for longer than 28 days.
