The CDC reported that the live virus was found on a cruise ship that had been empty for 17 days. Just because it can be detected does NOT mean it can still infect anyone. It's takes a large viral load to do so, and surfaces don't support that (unless someone sneezed on it within the last few minutes, you touch it, and then put your fingers in your mouth or up your nose). That's the science, BTW, not my opinion. 1

Food safety is largely determined by bribery. One of my husband's friends (well, they actually dated lol) her mom was a USDA inspector. The company she worked for bribed the USDA. All kinds of nasty stuff went out the door, refuse washed down into the local creek, etc... A different company down the road didn't bribe the USDA. My husband's company did business with them. Crowded, but squeaky clean inside. So, if the Chinese have their underlings bribing the USDA, it could be nasty. But without inside info, who knows? From the stories I've heard, I'd definitely avoid anything from Tyson or Butterball even in good times....
