with the food-industry people cannot afford healthcare for themselves and made to work, to get the means to live, I'm very scared to order anything from any prepared-food establishments. the chances of getting contaminated food are incredibly high, esp if you order smth not thermally processed.

Source?

I think that independently from what the original comment said, it can be easily conceived and taken into account how UK style restaurants health and sanitary ratings could easily correlate with one's possibility of contracting the virus given the sanitary level of an establishment. The same could be done for any country.

Why do people keep asking for a source to back up pretty straight forward statements. Was that an unusual or surprising statement?

It would seem like common sense at this stage that if someone with an infectious disease sneezes on your raw salad leaves or your cold lasagna, you're probably getting it too no?

If you think the OPs comments are important, maybe you could also go verify this information yourself and post back if you find something worthwhile refuting the original claim.

I clarified which statement I wanted a source for. It was a surprising claim. I had not heard about contaminated food.

> go verify this information yourself

That's not how debate works online or has worked for millennia. The onus is on the person making the claim to prove it.
