The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (RNA) covered by a protective layer of lipids (fats) which, if absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or mouth mucosa, changes their genetic code. (mutation) and converts them into multiplier and attacker 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 the type of material in which it is found.
The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That's why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam BREAKS THE GREASE (that's why you have to rub so much: for at least 20 seconds or more, and make a lot of foam). By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.
HEAT melts the fat; then use water above 25 degrees to wash your hands, clothes and everything else. In addition, hot water produces more foam which makes it even more useful.
Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol greater than 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.
But No common ALCOHOL or Vodka can destroy the virus because, The strongest alcohol or vodka is 40% alcohol and you need 65% alcohol (

jmushi1,
Thanks, nami nilijua hiyo steaming unaitumia unapoona dalili, vinginevyo kwa hii approach yetu itabidi tuitumie hadi pale COVID-19 itakapokwisha.
