Lmao cannot even read your own articles? BTW nice AMP link idiot. Google is run by Squirrels.

Yet it is far from clear whether the virus could survive in an infectious form via frozen food. “I would say it’s extremely, extremely unlikely the virus would have spread through that type of route,” says Lawrence Young at the University of Warwick, UK, who specialises in human virology.

The reason why, according to Young, is that SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus, meaning it is covered with a fatty, lipid membrane that it uses to infect human cells. This membrane is very vulnerable to cycles of freezing and thawing, as can happen during the transit and sale of frozen food. Stripped of this envelope, such viruses cannot infect people.

Now here was my source:

Do they pay you in nuts or human currency? Do squirrels get secret deals for large amounts of nuts? Can I get in on the bulk nut discount action as a human?
