    There's mountains of evidence that it's spread by droplets. Could droplets conceivably end up on the top of your burger?

    yes

    could you swallow all the virus along with the burger leaving you 100% virus free?

    Dunno. Probably not.

    You shouldn't need scientific studies to tell you this stuff is a risk. Maybe a risk we're willing to take, but still a risk

    Can’t you say that about all foodstuffs?

    The virus is still rampant in China they've just stopped testing for it so they aren't reporting any new cases. I wouldn't be using them as an example of how to deal with the virus either considering that they covered up the initial outbreak and even the dog in the street knows that they have underreported the number of cases and deaths by a huge amount.
    Please provide sources for assertion that Chinese have stopped testing for COVID-19.

    Googling for 'chinese stop testing for covid-19' brings up a lot of matches, none of which either confirm or mention your allegations.

    Bear no love or admiration for CCCP but really tired of geopolitical crap appearing here, there are appropriate fora for that.

    Most other foodstuffs are packaged or wrapped and would have been last exposed to potential infection more than 75 hours ago. Hence leaving the shopping to sit for three days before unpacking or using, is good practice,

    Not fruit, veg, fresh meat, cheese. Loads of stuff. Can’t leave a lot of foodstuffs for 3 days I would think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,960 ✭✭✭✭Jim_Hodge


    Not fruit, veg, fresh meat, cheese. Loads of stuff

    So you leave them sit for three days to be sure. Or wash them. You're just being obtuse now.
    There's no comparison with the risks from takeaway foods.

    You can wash most fruit and veg, you cook meat and cheese does come packaged


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,393 ✭✭✭MonkieSocks


    Would you not just wipe it down??

    Seems more practical,than leaving food lying out for days on end??

    According to Dr. Sanjay Gupta....this is he view on how to do that

    I would assume that restaurants are taking just as much precautions

    agree with this maybe its just dublin , guards are everywhere at the moment down the country


    Have noticed a marked increase in Gardaí where I am (Southside Dublin). In fact, from recollection, I can't remember seeing one on normal duty up to now (but probably just wasn't paying attention).

    You have to eat. I ordered and paid for a McDonald's using the app for me and the family this evening. Collected it from the drive through wearing mask and gloves. No significant risk in that.

    i thought they closed a couple of weeks ago? :confused:

    It's a pity this is such a serious issue as otherwise it's pretty damn funny.

    Sorry I don't know what medium you are referring to, have you a link?

    But I am not surprised at this either. Thanks.

    The CDC in the US now advising wearing masks while out shopping etc.

    Isn't the risk of this kind of transmission very small?

    Honestly, who has time to wipe down groceries. Wouldn't we be better off if the government could train people not to cough and sneeze without a tissue through some new sort of legislation or whatever. Slap people lacking such manners with fines.

    Not sure if this as been posted. An incredible representation by NHK (Japanese Broadcaster) on how droplets spread.

    mr president,
    I would like to congratulate you on being the first true socialist president
    - providing free healthcare to the poor
    - providing $2T social payments to laid off workers
    - bringing nuclear powered carriers into port

    the world thanks you.

    That would go down as the least surprising news I’ve heard during this whole crisis.
