You don't talk about ladies like that...

Could someone explain how a 'Covid Virus' can live on dead flesh anywhere in the world.

It's not a bacteria. They can multiply on meat.

A virus needs needs a living host with live cells to infect to survive and multiply.

Maybe just maybe someone can sneeze on your raw steak and if you grab it quickly and eat it raw then that's up to you.

 

 

Wow. You can’t beat Thai meat.

What's wrong with these kind of news that are wrong in the first place. Even if hypothetically some meat is infected with the virus there's a very low chance of spreading. Once the food is cooked there's no way for the virus to survive. And it is very rare for people to eat raw pork, and it is extremely rare to eat raw pork infected with the virus  ????

The virus can infect dead things now?

"Covid contaminated meat"? What BS. Covid isn't spread that way.

Reports coming in that in some areas it's infecting dead brain cells and bringing them back to life but at a very low level of function.

Seems it causes 'knee jerk reactions' and the adoption of very odd hairstyles.

isn't there another post about CM meat and dangerous outbreak of something else

 

nah, it's ok, it's covid free

To get a virus doesn't it have to be injected into you? from a mosquito or a drug addict holding up a 7/11 with a syringe?

That does sound like Thailand... 2nd wave coming to a town near you soon.

My wife has a strong liking for Aussie meat...  Does that make her a connoisseur?  ????

It can be sneezed into your face or you can pick it up from a surface it might stay viable on for a while.

Some viruses die on air contact and some can stay active for a while outside the host body.

Lot of ignorance shown here. Yes virus can only replicate inside a living organism, but they can survive for variable periods of time outside of a living organism. Different viruses can survive for different periods of time - certainly Coronavirus can survive more than 24 hours in some conditions - and most viruses can stay viable for long periods (probably years) if frozen under the right conditions.

 

Meat packing plants, sandwich production lines have seen some major outbreaks among workers there. Cool, humid conditions are usually good for viral survival, so contamination is possible. Risks probably low, but not non-existent.
