Please kindly explain to me how on earth a dirty car and a dirty home is better. I'm having a lot of trouble taking this reply seriously, but I'm trying to follow HN guidelines.

  Having a dirty closet has fuck all to do with contracting or spreading COVID-19

    I'm pretty confident you cannot produce a study backing up that claim. I'm going to leave some semi-random links on stunting and hygiene and I think I shall bow out of this pointless discussion. I suspect the real issue here boils down to tone policing or something similar and has nothing whatsoever to do with actual medical science. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6843659/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6843659/ http://riceinstitute.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2013/04/rice-sanitation-stunting-brief.pdf http://riceinstitute.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/downlo... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4216152/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4216152/ https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/article/77/4/240/5309014 https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/article/77/4/240/5...

      Thanks for a bunch of random and useless links to things that have nothing to do with the spread of COVID-19.

  > I'm having a lot of trouble taking this reply seriously, but I'm trying to follow HN guidelines. I do not understand your trouble. This is a serious reply. You asked which suggestions were ineffective and counterproductive. Your list was interesting but derailed in the end, so I listed the most obvious candidates. This is to help you in case you want to edit your post or make suggestions to friends and family. Here is an alternative suggestion in case of a "large pile of junk": a strong UV lamp (of the kind that is used with reptiles) should be sufficient to alter the viruses present on the surface, removing any need to touch it. However, we have limited information about how UV could be helpful at the moment, so it may be better to just spray alcohol on the pile and not touch it.

    Thank you for clarifying. I'm stepping away from this discussion. I've already said that, but wanted to acknowledge your good intent.
