Claim: Eating alkaline foods of pH level above 8.5 can kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Fact-check: Message suggesting that 'alkaline foods can kill SARS-CoV-2 virus' is fake - FACTLY
Verdict: the research paper published in 1991 talks about the mhv4 virus, not about the sars-cov-2 virus. some of the ph levels given in the post are not correct. also, there is no scientific evidence to prove that eating alkaline foods can kill the sars-cov-2 virus. hence the claim made in the post is false.
