Can Covid-19 be transmitted by ingesting it? (on raw veg like salad eg). Would washing the item under cold running water be enough to remove the virus? In fact is the virus as damaging when ingested as when taken into the lungs via coughing or sneezing, given that it's the lungs which the Covid-19 seems to damage most? |  |

It can last a while on hard surfaces, like door handles etc. Not sure about perishable items like lettuce. Wouldn't think so though, as it would surely have exploded the virus by now. every time I go into the greengrocers there is somebody squeezing a tomato. |  | | |

Pretty sure I read on the Government website that there is no evidence it can be transferred by ingesting food. |  |

I think thats right- but presumably raw food, with virus on it, is going near to your respiratory system ont he way in... |  |

I read on the Government website that if you drink water every 15 minutes you are vastly less likely to get it, as the water pushes the virus down to the gut and the acid kill the bug. Just looked again for the link, but I couldn't see it. | | | |

A woman on Sky News was asked this question. She said don't worry about it but give the item a good wash. |  |

Hold breath whilst sticking item in gob, chewing & swallowing would seem to be the answer there?! | |

Chlorine is supposed to kill it, so they reckon swimming is a good activity. All that chlorine sloshing around your passages. Not sure about the science, but so far washing your hands, going for a swim and then getting hammered seem the best lines of defence. |  |

Hasn’t that been debunked? Or has there since been evidence suggesting this works? |  |

Im pretty sure I saw that being one of the many debunked pieces of fals information that morons are sending out. | |

It's a respiratory disease. The acids in the stomach would probably be too much for it to cope with. |  |

I have question marks around the fact it apparently started in bats but they are confident that it can't be carried by pets. The conspiracy theories in this seem plausible, so many claims to not know much about it but an insistence on being right about pets |  |

Most of the food my wife cooks is covered in vast quantities of carbon.
Does this help get rid of the virus? |  | | |

It's been confirmed on livescience.com that it originated from bats in China transferring it to another small wild animal.
The "pets rumour was utterly wrong, irresponsible & distressing though, saw reports in my newsfeed of hundreds (if not more) of dogs just being abandoned. Absolutely disgusting (albeit some of those allegedly human beings might have been looking for an excuse anyway I suppose). | |

Just swallowing normally is sufficient to keep food away from your respiratory tract. Your larynx and swallow relflex are specifically designed so as not to permit food content into the airway. | |

If food is going anywhere near your respiratory tract on the way in, seek urgent help, because you probably have a dysfunctional swallow reflex and are at high risk of choking on your food and drink... | |

Indeed. World Health have confirmed this and released various pet dogs which were in quarantine.
WHO let the dogs out. | |

So to be clear, not getting hammered then going for a swim?
Not the same thing? |  |
