- ls612 5y agoIt's literally designed to kill bacteria. Funnily enough it does next to nothing against respiratory pathogens like covid which spread through the air not through surfaces.
- mcv 5y agoOne of the first things reported about the virus was that it was held together by a membrane of fatty molecules that would easily dissolve with soap. Soap literally kills the virus. So of course everybody decides to wash their hands with alcohol-based sanitiser instead. I've never quite understood that. But there has been a lot I don't understand these past few years.
