  • seems like a pretty unlikely vector for a respiratory virus, isn't it?

    • Someone already posted the full quote. They found fragments of the virus in the milk, which obvs isn't going infect anyone.

      But that still means ⬆️ risk of animal to human infection and the even higher risk of human to human infection.

        i think that remains to be seen, 'fragments' might just be what a successful protective measure looks like. do viruses leave 'fragments' after other disinfectant treatments?

        • Yes, when something causes the virus to burst/lyse, the bits are still gonna be there. The issue is the fragments are even in milk in the first place.

    • I mean you're putting it in your mouth, the same place you breath out of.

    • You haven't tried huffing milk???
