Here is a thread on the structure of the corona virus (most viruses similar) and lipids and why soap works. Also covers the handwash alcohol angle (they help but not as much as soap, the antibacterial part useless against a virus)

Don't care how you say it, but you (everyone) needs to realize that this is not just a "health" issue,...it is a "WORLD" economy issue, that if not correctly, & UNMERCILESLY addressed, will have terrible, yes "TERRIBLE" consequences for all of us......too much drama from me?....I get that, but,......wait & see!...yeah, wait & see, what the consequences of an Aussie "Economy Meltdown" will be, and don't say, I didn't warn ya. Gotta say, I hope I'm wrong,....Pickles.Quote:

Wait & see, Pickles.

read an article today where plague / pandemic scientists (i cannot remember the correct term used) are conservatively estimating the deaths worldwide to reach 42 million + in the short term based on the two strains that have evolved so far.
the second strain is more virulent than the first.
they predict the third and forth mutations will greatly affect the mortality rate as the virus adapts...
fun fun fun....
went to the local gp today to get my infected ear syringed and ended up getting a pneumonia immunisation as well seeing i am in the high risk category.
