     @mangeurdenuage @geniusmusing Early on, the researchers said it seemed to die around 140F / 60C.
     
     Further research may have found something different. I have not been keeping up as much recently.
     
     140F is pretty standard ( the "danger zone" that they taught us about in food handler's classes is 40F / 4C to 140F / 60C ) ... and the current US recommendation is that foods should be cooked until every part of it is at least 160F / 71C.

     This was in May. Now we know that the intestines can also be involved in #COVID-19 infections ... there have been several links posted about virus detection in sewage samples, for example.
