The following is from an Asst. Prof in infectious diseases at Johns
Hopkins University:
* The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA)
covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by
the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic
code. (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.
* 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, serve. 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.
* 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.
