Excellent question. In_The_Wind Apr 2020 #24

The meat is NOT contaminated. That is NOT how it is spread. Wipe package, cook the meat. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #6

Really? Something ELSE I have to give up now? Aristus Apr 2020 #9

Yeah. You need to stop inhaling raw meat. :eyes: . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #11

It never hurt before... Aristus Apr 2020 #13

Why not? WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2020 #14

Because the wet market in China may have been the start of this spread. In_The_Wind Apr 2020 #15

Stop your nonsense! LIVE animals EXHALE. Purchasers breath in. THINK! Don't create false FEAR! . .nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #20

Don't buy live bats at a wet market. Duh. Stop posting shit, please. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #27

People congregating, not food. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2020 #29

A wet market is a place where they sell live animals and butcher or kill them right there Marrah_Goodman Apr 2020 #67

Study what cooking temperatures does to virus. Ya know, Science. Or may ya dunno or reject. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #17

I don't think freezing matters....don't they freeze viruses? n/t Lucinda Apr 2020 #42

The meat in my freezer has been there since around Christmas. In_The_Wind Apr 2020 #51

I need to stop watching cooking videos Lucinda Apr 2020 #55

If you have the time and money - go for it. In_The_Wind Apr 2020 #56

No worries. I prefer snorting extra crispy bacon Flaleftist Apr 2020 #32

Cooked meat is fine to inhale if that turns your crank. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #33

I think you have invented a prize-winning new product. KY_EnviroGuy Apr 2020 #38

Thanks Dem2 Apr 2020 #72

Viruses don't thrive well on meat or food; they need a living host. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2020 #7

In time the virus will die on food. But how long does that take? In_The_Wind Apr 2020 #16

About two seconds after it hits cooking temperature. Use your brains! . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #26

Well, it's no way to treat a DU-er of any kind. Aristus Apr 2020 #41

Sorry. I don't "suffer fools gladly". Perhaps a character flaw. I carefully try to avoid calling Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #54

Buy it from a butcher counter. haele Apr 2020 #34

Best answer to my question. Thank you. In_The_Wind Apr 2020 #35

Who do you think slaughters, processes and transports it for the butcher? WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2020 #45

His wife? zackymilly Apr 2020 #48

I always ask my butcher, 'how's it hangin'?' zackymilly Apr 2020 #47

You don't understand. The issue is the workers who are massively spreading it among each other. hlthe2b Apr 2020 #21

There's nothing wrong with the meat and it can be sold. Liberal In Texas Apr 2020 #58

Thanks for your 2 cents. In_The_Wind Apr 2020 #59

You have to do what you think is right for you. Blue_true Apr 2020 #65

A virus requires a live host to stay alive. The meat is perfectly fine to eat and handle. nt Blue_true Apr 2020 #61

So, the virus will be dead by the time we bring it home. In_The_Wind Apr 2020 #71

Unless you buy it directly from the slaughterhouse, it will be dead days before Blue_true Apr 2020 #91
