One of my weaknesses is Ice cream and having had a sore throat I have been eating a lot more of the stuff, but from the report above on Sky News I get the impression it isnt distributed to the UK, still a worry though as how it seems to be sneaking in to areas where you wouldnt expect to find it

Was it portugal where a politician did a test on the contents of a can of coke and it also tested positive? Does lend credence to the idea that false positives are very likely.

FlyMyPrettiesFly · 17/01/2021 14:38

That must be a false positive. I once cleaned oil off my driveway with coke. Nothing can live in it.

Yes yes, OP, the article specifically states that is is in YOUR ice-cream and YOU are at risk from this.
Hmm

Do spread the word around facebook as well, why don't you.

Hundreds and thousands will have to self-isolate because of this.

Appropriate news for a sundae but that wasn't coronavirus, it was just conevirus.

To give credit where it's due, I nicked it from someones post I saw on twitter yesterday Grin (Would have linked to their tweet but couldn't find it or remember who it was.)

Maybe someone can explain in detail how this could have happened?

JaquelineBeanstalk · 17/01/2021 14:50

I can’t wafer the official statement on this!

Fron reading the article they think it is a one off, and probably by an infected worker at the China Ice cream factory

Was this an inside scoop?

GabsAlot · 17/01/2021 15:06

BluebellsGreenbells · 17/01/2021 15:08

Was it an ice-olated case?

JaquelineBeanstalk · 17/01/2021 16:03

It’s a Haagendaz-aster, darling!

greenlynx · 17/01/2021 16:07

Thanks, OP, it’s interesting.
It looks like one off which shows again that virus likes lower temperature and can survive in a freezer. I wouldn’t stop eating my Haagen Dazs but would continue washing hands after handing frozen products.
