The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tThe 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).<\/li>\n<li>\t\tBy dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tHEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 77 degrees Fahrenheit for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tAlcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tAny mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tOxygenated 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.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tNO BACTERICIDE OR ANTIBIOTIC SERVES. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; antibodies cannot kill what is not alive.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tNEVER 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),<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style='margin-left: 40px;'>\t4 hours (copper and wood)<br \/>\t24 hours (cardboard),<br \/>\t42 hours (metal) and<br \/>\t72 hours (plastic)<br \/>\tBut 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.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\t\tThe virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial as air conditioners in houses and cars.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tThey also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tUV 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.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tThe virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tVinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer of fat.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tNO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, serve. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tLISTERINE IF IT SERVES! It is 65% alcohol.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tThe more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tYou 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.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tYou have to moisturize dry hands from so much washing them, because the molecules can hide in the micro cracks. The thicker the moisturizer, the better.<\/li>\n<li>\t\tAlso keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This list of facts on COVID 19 is from an infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins.&nbsp;&nbsp; The virus is not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3869,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"class_list":["post-3868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
