And yes, grapes are more dangerous than bananas because they are exactly the right size and shape to block a small child's windpipe, and hard to get out. (not that any food is entirely safe, so dont go shoving bananas in babies gobs and blaming me if they choke)
But still not "lethal" because most people survive grapes perfectly well. Like Coronavirus.

Why does one method make no mention of formites then? Are grapes more dangerous than bananas!
It says.."washing your hands with warm water and soap"
What do you think this is for? It doesnt go through the skin. You usually put the virus into your body via mucous membranes. We all touch our eyes, nose, and mouth a lot, even when we dont realise.
It also says.. "not touching your eyes or nose in case you have come into contact with the virus – it can infect the body this way" (and it mentions not sharing cups which transfers it through the mouth)
So, just what I said in the first place?
I suppose they thought it was not needed to go into too much detail with something so obvious.
And if you still dont believe me, watch the first thirty seconds of this Bupa video.

So many questions remain unanswered. Another is why did 31k die in France which is the same size as Texas. 2.4 times more deaths. Answers are just as important as a cure which requires them before it can be successfully manufactured.
Grapes kill quite a lot of people, but we don't usually describe them as lethal.
Let's muzzle up some grapes.
