To say... it's a fucking VIRUS

[ArtisanBreadBin]

The number of posts on here about how the NHS have recommended "antibac" no they haven't. I wipe it with "antibac" why would you. I can't find any "antibac" handwash, you don't fucking need it.

AIBU to hope that people can learn the difference between a fucking virus and a bacteria. If it was a bacteria it would be called CORONA fucking BACTERIA!!!!

In any case "antibac" is a waste of time and money, use soap and water. FML.

My husband called my Dyson a hoover this morning. I was fuming.

It's just a name. Yes people should be aware a virus isn't bacteria but the antibacs are used as a general name as previously said on this thread.

The OP might like this

Trump: "Antibiotics used to solve every problem and now one of the biggest problems the world has is the germ has gotten to brilliant that the antibiotic can't keep up with it.

"It's hard to get a list of recommended brand names. The PHE isn't that pro-active compared to the CDC

Here's an interesting one. Alcohol free hand sanitiser - it contains biocides which disrupt the membrance.

It's a detergent and disinfectant that seems used in quite a few medical centres - and is sold out".
Thanks for that. It only mentions "feline coronavirus", no mention of covid19 or human coronavirus?

TBF - this is a review from 2018.

It destroys Norovirus - which is much 'tougher' than Covid-19

Yeah I think what kills Norovirus doesnt necessarily kill Covid 19, thats why its so confusing. It would be a good idea for PHE to publish a list of supermarket products that kill Covid 19.

Norovirus is much harder to kill than Covid-19.

Destroy the lipid bilayer and it's dead.

So if something can destroy Norovirus as well as a whole range of other viruses (this also contains surfactants), it will kill this.

This is what they use in some hospitals to disinfect.

But yes - a Government list like CDC do would be useful

So basically anything with an ionic surfactant is suitable against a bacteria like covid?

Does it matter how far down the list of ingredients it is or how long it stays on the surface?

I would suggest you use them as per the instructions on the bottle.

Personally - for house cleaning, I am using soapy water. As the op said, it's a good way to destroy viruses. Get some washing up powder in water. Clean

This is from the CDC when it came to the Ebola outbreak.

Most disinfectants are likely to be good - if they have the surfactants and are used as the instructions

Covid -19 is not as difficult to inactivate as more complex viruses like Norovirus.

Thanks @chomalungma

So this happened last night

And reminded me of this thread

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8251605/Donald-Trump-suggests-bizarre-treatments-coronavirus-including-injections.html

So yes, disinfectants kills viruses. But they shouldn't be injected

I think Trump wants us to inhale it. Off to the bathroom to snort some Domestos.

Oh fuck off ,op.
It works on viruses too, like you’ve been told and like you should know with your degree .
Coronavirus ,obviously not but it will help you avoid getting anything else !

The sad thing is, people will try injecting bleach into themselves; and people will become very sick and even die. All because Trump is a twat.

All because Trump is a twat.

They have to be twats too.

The trouble is, because America’s health care system is so shit I imagine poor desperate people would grasp on to any possible affordable “home remedy” they could. And I can see them thinking that if the President says it’s a cure, then surely it must work?
