TL;DR: An overview of viral inactivation and virus genome degradation data from published literature as well as a statistical analysis and the development of empirical formulae to predict virus inactivation are encompassed.

TL;DR: The main route of transmission of the human coronaviruses, and presumably also of the new pandemic SARS-CoV-2, is via droplets and close contacts, however their fecal elimination also suggests the possible spread via water.

TL;DR: A review of current knowledge about the influence of environmental factors on the survival and spread of viruses via contaminated surfaces concludes that contaminated fomites or surfaces play an important role in the spreading of viral diseases.

TL;DR: The analysis of 560 YouTube videos related to the link between vaccines and autism or other serious side effects on children revealed that most of the videos were negative in tone and that the annual number of uploaded videos has increased during the considered period, that goes from 27 December 2007 to 31 July 2017.

TL;DR: The results of environmental monitoring showed the presence of adenovirus DNA in 100% of collected samples and TTV DNA in 95% of raw sewage and in 85% of the exit samples, while HAV was detected only in 2 samples over 40 (5%).
