COVID-19: Professor Puts Exam Papers Inside Microwave To Disinfect Them

As the number of confirmed COVID-19 keeps rising, people are becoming panic. It gets to the point that all logic is thrown out the window.

And this professor is a prime example when he decided to microwave his students’ exam paper to disinfect them. So his student took this story to Twitter.

According to Emily, another processor, in fear of COVID-19, took the papers that her professor was grading and put them in the microwave. So the heat could kill the virus.

While some Twitter users suggested some simpler ways to disinfect the papers, many mocked the idea of sanitization of the professor.

A similar incident happened in China after a Chinese woman, paranoid of COVID-19, put money bills which are mostly 100 yuan banknotes in a microwave for no more than a minute for disinfection.

After the banknotes were burnt, the woman frantically took the money to a Chinese Bank but they were beyond recovery.

The total number of confirmed cases is now over 128,000 with 4,728 deaths. With the rapid spread of the virus, WHO continues to monitor closely. The Coronavirus is believed to have come from Wuhan’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, which is a trading place for wildlife. On 23 January, to prevent the virus from spreading, the Chinese authorities put the city under lockdown. Some airlines have also suspended their flights to mainland China. According to researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the genome sequenced taken from seven patients were reportedly 96% identical to coronavirus from bats.

The last time a pandemic was declared by WHO was the H1N1 outbreak back in 2009. The outbreak infected around a quarter of the global population.
