This is excellent COVID-19 material that spells out how you should deal with the coronavirus pandemic that will help you prevent catching the virus. It comes from physician Irene Ken, whose daughter is an Asst. Prof in infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins University.
> * Since the virus is not a living organism but a
protein molecule, it is not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the
temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.
> * The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin
outer layer of fat. That is why any soap
or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you
have to rub so much: for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam).
> By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule
disperses and breaks down on its own.
> * HEAT melts fat;
this is why it is so good to use water above 25 degrees Celsius for
washing hands, clothes and everything.
In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more
useful.
> * Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65%
DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.
> * Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly
dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.
> * Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and
chlorine, because peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it
pure and it hurts your skin.
> * NO BACTERICIDE OR ANTIBIOTIC SERVES. The virus is not
a living organism like bacteria; antibodies cannot kill what is not alive.
> * NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or
cloth. While it is glued to a porous
surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only
> -between 3 hours (fabric and porous),
> -4 hours (copper and wood)
> -24 hours (cardboard),
> - 42 hours (metal) and
> -72 hours (plastic).
> But if you shake it, or use a feather duster, the virus
molecules float in the air for up to 3 hours, and can lodge in your nose.
> * The virus molecules remain very stable in external
cold, or artificial as air conditioners in houses and cars.
> They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially
darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry,
warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.
> * UV LIGHT on any object that may contain it breaks
down the virus protein. For example, to
disinfect and reuse a mask is perfect.
Be careful, it also breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin.
> * The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.
> * Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down
the protective layer of fat.
> * NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, work. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you
need 65%.
> * LISTERINE, IF IT SERVES! It is 65% alcohol.
> * The more confined the space, the more concentration
of the virus there can be. The more open
or naturally ventilated, the less concentration.
> * You have to wash your hands before and after touching
mucosa, food, locks, knobs, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches,
computers, desks, TV, etc. And when
using the bathroom…
> * You have to HUMIDIFY HANDS DRY from so much washing
them, because the molecules can hide in the micro cracks. The thicker the moisturizer, the better!
> * Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not
hide there.
