I wish someone would do the check on meat.

I cant quarantine it in my car like the other groceries. I can wipe the package off and put in the fridge

But what happens if i open it in two days. Is the virus there because cold kept it alive or what

I need answers before I buy any more meat...lol

I saw your other question after I posted.
Yes it will survive frozen or cold. Because it is held together with lipids. They dug a virus out of the tundra that they said was 30,000 years old and infected an amoeba with it. But heat disintegrates it. It melts like butter.

What if you were to soap up the package with a soapy squirt bottle, then rinse it under the hot water faucet, then go straight into the freezer or fridge?

That would be some extra protection. Anyone?
