CORONAVIRUS could be spreading through farts, a doctor is warning.

One medic claimed people may be passing the deadly disease on to others through omitting bodily gasses - however experts aren't so sure.

They say the chances of catching Covid-19 through farting is "tiny" and that Covid-19 is mainly transmitted between people through droplets spread from coughing and touching or shaking hands.

Australian doctor Andy Tagg pointed out that farting could cause coronavirus after analysing a series of tests take from coronavirus patients earlier this year.

Brings new meaning to SBD (silent but deadly)

If it is then since almost nobody goes about their daily business bare-assed it kind of proves that the masks are useless.

How about belches?

But could explain why it’s spreading so fast in New York City.

Maybe we need N95 undergarments.

We know the masks are useless. They’re for coughs or sneezes to keep the droplets in your own face. I’d rather cough into a kleenex. Common sense.

I’ve been told mine would kill almost anything.

Then some SF police need to take all of Nancy’s ice cream away.

The coronavirus parody continues unabated.
We need to end this insanity NOW.

I think Andy Fagg likes inspecting bottoms.

[Jewbacca]

Maybe if this doctor is hanging around a bunch of naked butts.

Me, I keep a couple of layers of clothe between my rear and the general public. Pretty sure that would catch most all.

So we can blame the Kung Flu pandemic on cow flatulence? They already cause glo-bull warming, according to the “established science”.

[AFB-XYZ]

Light ‘em. Fire will kill that mean ol’ virus.

This post has all the making of an epic thread.

Probably only a prolonged Quadruple Flutter Blast.

Your comment lol

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

I call on Congress to provide federally-subsidized Depends for everyone. State and local officials can make sure they are being worn.

Folks who treat us non-smokers to vaping and secondhand cigarette smoke are about to feel some serious heat. C-19 can travel in vapor and smoke.

[meatloaf]

No we need fart whistles. There would be two with different pitches.

If you test positive the whistle would warn people to hold their breath and flee.

If you have antibodies a different tone would tell people to get closer and breathe deeply.

Hummm, seems an easy enuf medical trial...
