Is he the one who was having sex with his wife and didn't realise she was dead until the washing up started to pile up?

Where's your sources and attribution links?  You don't have any.  I do.

"Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) studies have been conducted to understand and characterize the relative risk of SARS-CoV-2 fomite transmission and evaluate the need for and effectiveness of prevention measures to reduce risk. Findings of these studies suggest that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection via the fomite transmission route is low, and generally less than 1 in 10,000, which means that each contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection"

Thanks for that.

So, 1/10,000 per contact. 2 hands, that's 2 contacts, adjust your grip a couple of times, that's 6, bodies are heavy, so it'll likely touch your torso a couple of times, that's 8.  The same to get it out of the ambulance, that's 16.  Or 16/10,000 = 1/625 mimimum, for a single body, handled well.  6 bodies in a day, that's about 1/100.  Multiply that for poor handling techniques - and I've seen a LIVE person slung in like a piece of meat after a bike accident.  See where I'm going here?

BANGKOK, July 21 (TNA) – The bodies of dead COVID-19 patients are noncontagious, assured the Forensic Physician Association of Thailand.

 

Dr Smith Srisont, president of the association, said there was misunderstanding about the bodies of COVID-19 infected people that they could transmit the virus and the people who handled the bodies must wear protective gear.

 

He said that corpses could not transmit diseases, COVID-19 bodies were put in body bags with zippers and undertakers did not have to wear protective suits.

 

The most confusing article I have ever read... so are they or aren't they? The caption says yes... the Dr Smith says no...

This is too important to confuse anyone even dopes like me!

Just step over them and you should be fine.

Bad and confusing penmanship... Why aren't you bothered about convoluted information?

I am somewhat and I accept your point. What does irk me and has nothing to do with our discussion is the way 'impacted' has taken the place of 'affected'. Much the same as when 'absolutely' replaced 'yes.' But I'm not particularly bothered.????
