As soon as Covat-19
began to infect the U.S. population there was a run on Purell as well as toilet
paper.
Actually,
Purell is not the magic bullet for prevention of viral infections. Washing your hands is more effective.
Purell is
great as an anti-bacterial, but has no effect on viruses.
The reason
is, that Viruses are not technically alive – so you can’t kill them.
A virus has
either DNA or RNA, but not both.
Viruses don’t metabolize, respond to environmental changes, grow or
excrete. They can not reproduce on their
own, but must inject their genetic material into a living host – the infected
host cell then makes copies of itself. Therefore,
viruses technically cannot be classified as a living organism.
So, forget
Purell and anti-bacterial soaps. Wash
you hands to rinse away any particles carrying the virus before it can enter
your body through your mouth, your eyes, your ass, your urethra or cuts or
abrasions.
THE BEST YOU
CAN DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE CORONA VIRUS; IS STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE AND
WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS.
I am not
a doctor and I don’t play one on TV; but I do remember some of my Biology
101.
