It seems to me stopping the dumping of virus infected blood into the water is a no brainer to help with viral concentrations around the sites dumping it. What will remain of viral transmission to the Ocean? Net pens with millions of infected salmon shedding the virus through their skin, gills and feces. The area around a fish farm will continue to be an area with high concentrations of viral load. Pointing out some basic principals of virology in no way insinuates the virus is not contagious or potentially deadly. I don't think how contagious it is, or what concentration of virions are needed to initiate infection is known. However what is clear is the potential area of transmission around a cleaning table is going to be much smaller than that around a blood outflow, or a fish farm itself.
Depends on who you ask. On one hand when it comes to fish farms its a deadly, hight transmissible virus, yet it totally gets downplayed from the cleaning table aspect and ya-all refuse to discuss hatchery production and salmon ranching practices. You don't get two sets of rules!
