I’ve been asked to help circulate the following information regarding CoVID19 so as to better understand the virus itself.

“The following is from Irene Ken, Physician, whose daughter is an Asst. Professor of Infectious Disease at Johns Hopkins University. Quite informative.

2/ *The virus is not a living organism, but a molecule (DNA) covered by a protective lay of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular (eye), nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.

3/*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 type of material where it lies.

4/*The 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’s why you have to rub so much: for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam).

5/ By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own. *HEAT melts fat;this is why it is so good to use water above 77 degrees Fahrenheit for washing hands,clothes & everything. In addition,hot water makes more foam & that makes it more useful.

6/*Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT , especially the external lipid layer of the virus.

7/*Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.

[Spray bottle mixture. Not safe for food. Use common sense precautions please.]

8/*Oxygenated 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.

[ Please don’t do this; Tide Pod Eaters - I have to say this bc of you. ]

9/* NO BACTERICIDE OR ANTIBIOTIC SERVES. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; antibodies cannot kill what is not alive.

[Floof translation: don’t listen to Trump for medical treatment advice]

10/*NEVER 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) , 4 hours (copper and wood), 24 hours (cardboard), 42 hours (metal) and 72 hours (plastic).

11/ But 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.

12/*The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial cold as air conditioners in houses or cars. They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.

13/ *UV 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. * The virus cannot go through healthy skin.

14/ *Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer of fat.
*NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA serve. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.
*LISTERINE IF IT SERVES! It is 65% alcohol.

15/ *The more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.

[ No crammed elevators!]

16/ * You 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.

17/ *You 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.

18/ * Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.

Stay healthy, my friends.
