How much washing is enough washing for them to be deemed safe?

@PowerslidePanda theres been plenty of Milton in my local sainsbury's.

We've just been rinsing under the tap as we usually do.

Ireland's food safety authority has confirmed there's no need to wash your shopping. www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/no-evidence-covid-19-can-be-transmitted-by-shopping-1.4235301

The estimates at the moment put under 50s in a death risk of something like a couple of percent. There does seem to be increased incidences in BAME but there's a lot of discussion about it being related to vitamin D absorption and its qualities.

It will be interesting to see if we have a generation of children bleaching everything and having poor immune systems.

Interesting to see a few people saying they never even rinsed fruit before this. I wonder if they buy organic. Some of the apples we buy have a gritty or waxy feel on the skin before washing which would be unpleasant to eat.

Did anybody watch the daily briefing? I’ve stopped watching tv just because I was struggling to handle it..but just interested to know if there is a glimmer of hope?

I know some people consider putting them in the oven to denature the virus. I personally think that's silly as catching it by mouth might be the safest route of entry.
