    People who study viruses for a living seem to think it’s possible, but I guess as long as you doubt it, no problem.

        A source that it’s possible? You really need a source that something carrying viruses can be a transmission vector if it jumps to humans? Because I think you need to take a basic virology course in that case.

          For starters i find it unlikely that a respiratory disease is transmitted through food. Possible sure. But by the logic of “possible” rather than “probable” we should never leave the house again.

            That’s not how viruses work. They evolve. They can become airborne. How are you not aware of this? It’s literally what happened with COVID.
