No, the virus lives on non-live surfaces for up to 3 days. This alone invalidates the rest of your argument.

We still don't know how long it lives on clothing. On doorknobs, plastic, stainless steel it can live for 72 hours, yes.

Plastic, like buttons, which are on clothing.

Fair enough, but I wouldn't assume the difference goes from 72 hours to 3 between different inert surfaces.

That's an entirely normal range.

"The viruses remained detectable for up to 4 hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard, and up to 3 days on plastic and stainless steel."

Different surfaces are, well, different.
