They aren't. And your 7-11 should probably stop doing this too. I think we are taking a pretty big risk as it is eating food prepared by potentially sick people even when it's takeout or drive-through. I'll do a take-and-bake pizza only because I'll get the temp up to about 200 before I eat the thing - hopefully deactivating the virus in the process.

- dehrmann 6y ago> I think we are taking a pretty big risk While it doesn't call out recently prepared food, the CDC disagrees: > Coronaviruses are generally thought to be spread from person-to-person through respiratory droplets. Currently there is no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with food. Before preparing or eating food, it is important to always wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds for general food safety. https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/newsletter/food-safety-and-Coronavirus.html https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/newsletter/food-safety-and-Co...
- droithomme 6y agoThe CDC, FDA and WHO have been pursuing a non-science based approach from the beginning apparently designed to spread the virus. I just made you a nice green salad. Before I hand it to you I sneezed. Do you eat it? If you say no, then like me, you realize the CDC are massive disreputable liars. If you say yes you eat it, you are foolish.
- dehrmann 6y ago> ...designed to spread the virus That's a strong claim that's going to need a strong source. > Do you eat it... Just because something's gross doesn't mean it will make you sick.

Food is not inhaled into the respiratory tract and any virus present will likely be inactivated in the stomach https://www.forbes.com/sites/victoriaforster/2020/03/25/is-eating-takeout-food-safe-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic/#49442b642bd1 https://www.forbes.com/sites/victoriaforster/2020/03/25/is-e...
- viklove 6y ago> Food is not inhaled Right, but you know you breath and eat through the same hole, right? So if you swallow, then inhale, you could be inhaling whatever you just ate...
- CydeWeys 6y agoThere's decent evidence that it can be passed through excretion, too. Active viral loads have been found in restrooms far in excess of what could be explained otherwise. The theory is that there's live viral particles in feces, and they get aersolized with the force of flushing. This is also consistent with the finding that diarrhea is a common symptom of coronavirus (I had it) -- there seems to be some kind of GI tract involvement that you don't see with e.g. the flu.
