Okay. Let me take you by the hand and google it for you:
Max incubation rate -- "The median incubation period was 3.0 days (range, 0 to 24.0 days)"
On surfaces up to 7-9 days -- "The authors show that, depending on the material and the conditions, human coronaviruses can remain infectious from 2 hours to 9 days."
Acquired immunity - "Li QinGyuan, director of pneumonia prevention and treatment at China Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing, said a protective antibody is generated in those who are infected. "However, in certain individuals, the antibody cannot last that long," Li said. "For many patients who have been cured, there is a likelihood of relapse."
Detection inaccuracy -- "Reports suggest some people test negative up to six times even though they are infected with the virus, according to the BBC and Chinese media."
Asymptomatic carriers -- "The researchers are confident that this case study describes an asymptomatic carrier transmitting the infection to others, but because it is the first report, one must be cautious when drawing conclusions."
I'll retract the infection rate because the info is conflicting, and just based on common sense that we probably don't have accurate numbers.
Took me bout 5 minutes.
