An interesting comment from the article page.

 

Here's the thing, China already knew this! Which is why loved ones were not allowed to say their goodbyes! The dead were taken away and cremated. Now, how did China know this while the WHO was still trying to figure out if it was transmitted by human to human contact?

The topic title present it as a fact, which it isn’t. A vague ‘scientist believe’ is not enough.......

It is clear that you can catch the virus from touching a door handle, or any surface that the virus is deposited on. Why would a dead body be any different?
