COVID-19 - Facts and Information Only Topic
ExiledInIllinois replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in Off the Wall
Just don't inhale your food... Very informative on how coronavirus is spread: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/08/822903487/how-safe-is-it-to-eat-take-out "Infectious disease and food safety experts we spoke to say they base their determination that takeout food is safe on decades of research on other coronaviruses, which were first identified in humans in the 1960s." "While COVID-19 is new to us, coronaviruses are not, and with all the studies done on these viruses, there has never been any information to implicate food-borne transmission," says Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of medicine in the department of infectious diseases at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tenn. ..." -

Anybody post the technical guide: https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/04/dont-panic-the-comprehensive-ars-technica-guide-to-the-coronavirus/ [Edit: This is quite good!

I get what you mean, just explaining the official nomenclature] -
They are literally on top of people in NYC! I'd rather live in a graduate dorm @ a large university than NYC. I'd rather die by.smell of exploding kimchi from the communal microwave. Oh wait...
