While no scientifically-verified data yet has surfaced of the living being infected by the dead, at least one study has shown that corpses can stay infectious for up to [...]

It has been established that persons who have recently died have been returning to life and committing acts of murder. A widespread investigation of funeral homes, morgues, and hospitals has concluded that the unburied dead have been returning to life and seeking human victims. It's hard for us here to be reporting this to you, but it does seem to be a fact.

Regards,

I bet if they tested a ham sandwich for 28 days it would keep coming back positive too.

Exactly. When I went to a doctor’s office to get a test (mandated after traveling), there was a big sign on the back of the door from the CDC saying in very large letters than a positive test in the absence of symptoms was NOT enough to justify a positive diagnosis.

It also shuts down the cells that viruses require as hosts in order to survive...

All this does is argue for cremation to dispose of infected bodies. If the pathogen remains viable in a dead body, there is a risk of the pathogen returning via leaching of soil in a cemetery.

“there is a risk of the pathogen returning via leaching of soil in a cemetery”

Umm, we are talking about a virus that requires a host to survive, not the Terminator.

Golly could it possibly be the tests are useless?

Viruses don't "survive". If the virion isn't damaged, it must be able to 1) infect a cell 2) successfully replicate in the cell. Clearly, the bodies involved here are capable of providing a protected environment for virions to remain undamaged. Samples kept in a lab are often placed into cryogenic storage to prevent degradation. There is no host there.

Testing a dead body 28 times? This whole thing is a scam.

“Clearly, the bodies involved here are capable of providing a protected environment for virions to remain undamaged.”

That’s not very good logic. You ignore the very real possibility that those 28 positive tests on a corpse for 6 weeks after death were just false positives, which is the more likely possibility. If viruses were able to survive in dead bodies, we probably would have noticed this fact at some point in the 130 years since their discovery.

I have an ancestor who drowned in a shipwreck in 1748. I don’t know if his body was recovered for burial, but in any case I doubt his remains could be located now. But if they could be tested no doubt he would show positive for COVID-19.

28 positives means 28 new cases!
