Chinese officials say chicken wings imported from Brazil tested positive for Covid-19

A sample of frozen chicken wings imported from Brazil has tested positive for the novel coronavirus in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, authorities said Thursday, the latest in a series of reports of contaminated imported food products.

The coronavirus was detected Wednesday on a surface sample taken from a batch of chicken wings during screening of imported frozen food in Longgang district of Shenzhen, the municipal government said in a statement. Officials did not name the brand.

Shenzhen health authorities immediately traced and tested people who might have come into contact with the product, and all results came back negative; all related products in stock have been sealed off and tested negative, the statement said.

Authorities are now tracing related products from the same brand that have already been sold, and have disinfected the area where the contaminated chicken wings were stored.

Brazil has so far reported more than 3.1 million coronavirus cases, the second highest in the world after the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University's tally.

News of the contaminated chicken wings comes a day after coronavirus was found on the packaging of shrimps imported from Ecuador, another South American country, at a restaurant in eastern Anhui province during a routine inspection, China's state broadcaster CCTV reported.

Shenzhen fried chicken wings are tasty

as we speak they are sending the wings to reeducation camps

either to rehabilitate them or feed them to muslims

Chinese officials have become hyper-vigilant, almost to the point of paranoia, in their attempts to misinform and misdirect the attention of the world away from themselves.

It is not known if food can transmit the COVID-19 Wuhan virus, and it is almost certainly destroyed upon cooking, even if still so raw that salmonella could still be transmitted. But chicken sushi might be a Chinese delicacy.

There’s a very low incidence here in AL and GA because a lot, if not most, locals buy Vidalias and Peru Sweets from Bland Farms down here in Vidalia, GA. Very sweet, mild, firm, all purpose onion. Some people say you can eat them like an apple, which I tend to believe, because they’re fantastic in salads or raw on burgers and brats.

We should have Home Depot test 2x4’s for Covid - indeed many would be positive.

Consider the recent news of nurses sending in unused cotton swabs and then testing positive.

The COVID test (from China) also showed a goat and piece of fruit testing positive. I think the tests are broken.

CONVID test for the first 0-7 days of symptoms are also highly inaccurate. Get the study here:

Be very suspicious if they got a positive test on day 1 of symptoms, like Obama recently did.

ANOTHER name for Trump to add to his list of names.

Great. Now the CDC will be swabbing chickens to pump-up their case count.
