Coronavirus stable for hours on surfaces

I am curious why we are not talking about the information provided from NIH about how stable this virus is on surfaces and in the air.
I know everyone is wiping surfaces down but it seems alittle short sided when this virus is so easily transmitted and stays active for such long periods.
Based on the information provided on the link below, it seems like we should be wearing masks if we are outside of our homes to help flatten the curve.
The link below was issued by NIH on 3/17/2020
