So if someone is a virus carrier but has no symptoms, are they life long carriers or just the normal length of the virus life, ( which is what? ) and how long are people contagious for?

Really appreciate being set straight on this (:Q) thanks x

Think you need to ask a senior dr or a scientist.

From this I would say 25 days - but you'd need to know when you had become infected - and with no symptoms that's not easy to determine. A carrier is not infectious ad infinitum ...

Unless you're Typhoid Mary!

I would be cautious at this stage of taking anything as 'Gospel' :)

Not even the Bible!

The trouble is - if we are to believe the idea that inanimate objects can be infected and the virus survives for a period of time you could in theory keep depositing the agent and then re-infecting yourself.... You'd need to be in weightless suspension to touch nothing at all... and that ain't happening.
