Quotes: “The scientists within the NIH actually gathered samples of the cells, of the mouths of individuals who lost their life to SARS-CoV-2 of course, they found that SARS-CoV-2 was in the lungs or even potentially in the digestive system, but what they found was in a bulk majority of these individuals, SARS-CoV-2 was detected in the salivary tissue.” “Researchers are indicating and suggesting that the mouth via infected oral cells actually plays a bigger role in the subsequent infection of SARS-CoV-2 than previously thought.” Resources: DentistRX: https://www.dentistrx.com More Fast Facts: https://www.ataleoftwohygienists.com/fast-facts/ Katrina Sanders Website: https://www.katrinasanders.com Katrina Sanders Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedentalwinegenist/ Sources: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/scientists-find-evidence-novel-coronavirus-infects-mouths-cells#:~:text=March%2025%2C%202021-,Scientists%20find%20evidence%20that%20novel%20coronavirus%20infects%20the%20mouth's%20cells,SARS%2DCoV%2D2%20transmission.&text=An%20international%20team%20of%20scientists,infects%20cells%20in%20the%20mouth
