@NaturalBornTraveller You like just so like travel dude. Like I mean TRAVEL, like just. Amoosing. Like utterly.

Spoken like a true virus!

@Cohonavirus : Are you related to the coronavirus? And if so, do you have any insight as to why your cousin causes people to buy excessive amounts of toilet paper?

@clousems Funny that you should bring that up. I have been pondering that very phenomenon myself. Maybe some people belive that they will like chewing on toilet paper as soon as they're illed by a virus. It's a little puzzling, I agree. I could have phathomed cans of tuna, or beans, but no. Toilet paper it is. And hand sanitizer of course.

Hand sanitizer is normally only dilute iso-Propyl Alcohol (no..do NOT drink it..not even with fresh orange juice).Same result can be had using common,or garden-variety methylated spirits, which is denatured absolute alcohol,(no..don't drink this either..),available cheaply at any hardware store.
Commercially available sanitizers are generally too weak to be really effective against viruses..you need about a 60% alcohol content . This makes the hardware store meths an attractive option.
Warm water and real soap is the best overall method of hand-cleaning.

Ok. So how warm should the water be and how real the soap? Is there actually a proper metric to measure the reality degree of a thing? Questions questions questions do I have.

@Cohonavirus

This explanation of soap and water effectiveness is a bit technical for me, maybe you will understand it.

Cool. The soap cuts up the virus's fatty hull, like it rids you of spare ribs fat. I hereby recommend drinking lots of soapy water🤓

No..soap and water removes the fatty acids from your skin surface,carrying grease,grime,and anything else there with it.
Pure soap is entirely unrelated to detergents.A soap solution will saponify fats,which makes them water-soluble.Detergent does not do that..it preferentially "wets",in the chemistry sense,your skin,so everything slides off it when you rinse.Neither is a germ-killer in it's own right..in fact both are very good mediums for germ culture.

@Cohonavirus
"Warm " in this context means more or less your comfortable bath-water temperature.There is no defined range for warm..or hot..or cold..

Sunlight soap is a pure soap..Palmolive soap is not.I'm assuming you know those brands.
