The CDC report does not state they found live virus after 17 days. See my other comment.

The CDC report only indicates finding RNA, which is NOT the same as finding a live virus, so that CNBC article is clickbait.

>SARS-CoV-2 RNA was identified on a variety of surfaces in cabins of both symptomatic and asymptomatic infected passengers up to 17 days after cabins were vacated on the Diamond Princess
