Which suicide methods can kill covid?

[meles_inoris]

I want to leave a corpse that will be safe to handle. No virus. I have considered setting myself on fire, but I would like to know if there are any other methods. I do not care if it is painful or long. My only concern is if there is any covid left on my body.

Are you sick now? You know, you could just wait until you're not sick anymore and then proceed.

Drowning in a bathtub full of sanitizer!:)

I am not sick, but I am going to ctb if I do catch it. Or if anyone I know does. Which is bound to happen

Jumping into a pool of lava would do it, but lava can be a bit difficult to find.

I think there is only one known case of transmission from a corpse..

Because COVID-19 is primarily spread through respiratory droplets when people cough, sneeze or talk, it's less likely to be passed on by a dead body -- although now we know transmission is technically possible.

The risk of droplet transmission of COVID-19 after death is minimal," but possible, since forensic medicine personnel regularly come in contact with corpses and biological fluids.

Traces of SARS remained in the blood of dead bodies for up to 96h after death. CoVid-SARS2 (it is interesting that people always forget to metion that its name is literally SARS2) is expected to be the same.
So don't get found for 5 days and you are good.

But you are overreacting, because people do not cuddle with dead bodies, nor does a dead body breath or sneeze at them. Every method that doesn't make them try to resuscitate you is save.
Hell, you could even just make sure that the one who finds you isn't someone who is chronically sick or >70 years old and it would be enough.
Or just lock yourself in and wait till it passed.

That's really not necessary. Police, ambulance and medical staff will use universal precautions when handling any dead body, and in the current times of Coronavirus, these measures would most likely be enhanced to further protect against the specific viral threat. Basically, any dead body will be treated as if it potentially had Coronavirus until confirmed otherwise.

Are you saying that you have been tested positive for Coronavirus? Or are you worried just-in-case?

If you had Coronavirus, I suppose there is a miniscule risk of an unprotected civilian finding your body and becoming contaminated, but as another user responded, transmission from a corpse is very unlikely. I suppose if you wanted to be absolutely sure (probably to the point of paranoia), you could place a sign on or near your body warning (truthfully or not) that you had Coronavirus and not to touch or approach your body. But this might then require the diversion of resources to handle and test your body that might perhaps have been used elsewhere on real, confirmed Coronavirus patients or corpses.

You may also have the option of voluntarily being tested for Coronavirus while you are still alive, and a (hopefully) negative result may put your mind at rest about the very unlikely possibility of your body transferring it after death.

thank you so much! This site is so helpful. If I posted this anywhere else I'd be told to fuck right off. But you hit the nail on the head. And yes, I am obsessed to the point of paranoia.

Shame this isn't like lord of the rings where it would be easy. Probably painful way to go though.

Lol well it would probably only be painful for a few seconds, especially if jumping head first. Feet first would be pretty terrible though I'm sure.

Why are u so sure that y'll die if u catch it?

Considering the general density and viscosity of molten rock, it's like throwing a cork into water. Jumping head first you'll probably break your neck and that would be it.

Feet first, the impact probably wouldn't kill you leaving you conscious for the few secs it will take for your bodily fluids to turn into steam causing a violent lava fountain to entertain onlookers.

Either way you probably won't have the time to feel much apart from the initial heat while falling.
