irradiate trivia question

If you irradiate a unit and the unit then enters a bunker or a transport such as a dropship, then the irradiation continues to function: The unit takes irradiate damage, and the damage splashes to other units in the bunker or transport. (It’s a way to save ground units from splashing their friends with radiation: Pick them up in an empty transport.)

If you irradiate a worker and the worker enters a refinery building, the worker takes no damage while inside. At least that’s what Liquipedia says. Apparently it gets a radiation rest break.

What about a queen infesting a command center? Does it continue to take irradiate damage while inside the command center? Can it die inside without finishing the infestation? Can it successfully infest the command center and not reappear because it died?

It should go without saying that this is critical knowledge that affects the course of every zerg game. It should be on page 1 of all player guides.
