swm59nj Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I’m guessing they mean the surface of the fruit can have Covid on it. Because there is no evidence you can catch Covid by ingesting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtrnuno41 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 As i understood, covid has a short lifespan (4 days) out of a biological body. Could be longer on metal or smooth surfaces. Now they find it on durian? The Chinese spit on it when coming to China? How on earth you come up the idea to test it for covid? Getting prices down? Something fishy. Easily killed with UV-C light, in seconds. Lets make it global then, all countries export needs to be treated with UV-C. EVERYTHING, even submarines. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) what if Lao customs officers sneezed and spit when opening container for border check up on entry or even on exit to china? that would be more likely to detecte and not some several days old residues from Chantaburi fruit pickers. That distance 1300km takes at least 2 days for a fully loaded some 20 tons container at temperatures some 60C inside container. Add to it waiting at 2 borders - usually many hours. There might be even obligatory change of driver on the border due to covid regulations. Covid thrives in low temperatures, like chilled or frozen meat. There were many cases of out brakes in meat processing companies and even in beef imported from south america to australia and to china Edited April 19, 2022 by internationalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
