Can COVID-19 spread through food?

Can COVID-19 spread through food?

It is highly unlikely that people can contract COVID-19 from food or food packaging. COVID-19 is a respiratory illness and the primary transmission route is through person-to- person contact and through direct contact with respiratory droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

There is no evidence to date of viruses that cause respiratory illnesses being transmitted via food or food packaging. Coronaviruses cannot multiply in food; they need an animal or human host to multiply.

Is headache a symptom of the coronavirus disease?

The virus can cause a range of symptoms, from ranging from mild illness to pneumonia. Symptoms of the disease are fever, cough, sore throat and headaches

What food should you avoid during COVID-19?

• When cooking and preparing food, limit the amount of salt and high-sodium condiments (e.g. soy sauce and fish sauce).

• Limit your daily salt intake to less than 5 g (approximately 1 teaspoon), and use iodized salt.

• Avoid foods (e.g. snacks) that are high in salt and sugar.

• Limit your intake of soft drinks or sodas and other drinks that are high in sugar (e.g. fruit juices, fruit juice concentrates and syrups, flavoured milks and yogurt drinks).

• Choose fresh fruits instead of sweet snacks such as cookies, cakes and chocolate.

well, none of us want to read too much,only want displays in quick reviews;

so, little topics as short as possible and many illustrations,diagram etc are included to know something if u want.

// A fast-spreading viral variety shows higher infectiousness,

Variants of SARS-CoV-2 with a widespread mutation are more infectious in human cells and hamsters, compared with viral variants lacking the change.

In February 2020, researchers examining samples from people with COVID-19 detected a SARS-CoV-2 mutation that alters the amino acid sequence of the virus’s spike protein, which the virus uses to infect cells.

// Waning antibody levels or a poorly developed immune response to SARS-CoV-2 could put people at risk of reinfection, one case suggests.

Two separate infection events: after the second infection, the individual produced only low levels of antibodies, and that these decreased over time. The person might have had a similar response to the first infection, which could explain why the individual was not protected against the second infection.

Measuring the individual’s neutralizing antibodies, which protect cells against infection. The person had lower levels of these potent antibodies against the version of SARS-CoV-2 that caused the first infection than against the version that caused the second infection.

[meaning emerging & re-emerging with even asymptomatic type,(none covid19 symptoms)]

// Whatever the long-term effects on industry innovation, the most important goal is to make high-quality vaccines for COVID-19 available as quickly and broadly as possible.

To pursue that goal and to promote global solidarity and reciprocity, the policy-makers and companies jointly engaged in the worldwide race to develop CoVID-19 drugs and vaccines should share information about how to actually make them.

// imagine, even if vaccines get success altogether, what gurantee is every person from child to old are auto or passively adapted to it?

our immune response needs to learn fighting;not to get confused,& what about other genomic-mutational things that might or not occur of pathogens,

even if we assume after trials,developments &new findings, vaccines in variety are ‘generic’ in public within 1/2 years!

so, best hope for now is precautions with safety,regulations &accepting the science behind any primary preventions.

// Homemade masks: Study tests various fabrics

New research has found that the typical materials in homemade facemasks effectively block droplets that may carry SARS-CoV-2

Research team examined 11 typical materials of homemade face masks, with a medical mask to act as a control. The fabrics included used clothes, quilted cloths, dishcloths, and bedsheets.

While these materials need to block droplets, it is also crucial that they are breathable and therefore, comfortable.

& Found that all of the fabrics tested are considerably effective at blocking the 100-nanometer particles carried by high-velocity droplets similar to those that may be released by speaking, coughing, and sneezing, even as a single layer.

“With two or three layers, even the more permeable fabrics, such as T-shirt cloth, achieve droplet-blocking efficiency similar to that of a medical mask, while still maintaining comparable or better breathability

On a recent study based, CNN/BBC news stated, only 10% of the population can increase widely infections upto 80% ,

Simple maths, right?

So,in essential livlihoood or emergencies, we need to ensure:

even if home made masks(3 Fabric Layers),

regular wash public surfaces,hands etc with soap/detergent mixed water,or antiseptic-spray,

& avoiding crowds with 3 feets distance,

[these only decreases probability of viral catchings;so,only 1 out of 3 increases pathogen chances,isn’t it?]
