intermolecular force on coronavirus spike proteins and surfaces

hi there ! 
just would like to know if how can i correlate the existing intermolecular force between the spike glycoproteins of the coronavirus and the surfaces it may attach onto like water and wood. 

correct me if im wrong but im currently siding with london forces for the water-corona and dipole-dipole for the wood-water. and that’s solely based on the length of the time the virus is viable on the given surfaces by the way. 

im really puzzled with this one so any help would be appreciated.

Aren't you forgetting the strongest interaction by far, in both cases: hydrogen bonding?
