Alcohol-based disinfectants are also effective, but soap still reigns supreme when beating the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) responsible for coronavirus disease 2010 (COVID-19).
According to chemistry professor Palli Thordarson, soap works well on COVID-19 and most viruses because the virus is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer.
“The soap dissolves the fat membrane and the virus falls apart like a house of cards and ‘dies’, or rather, we should say it becomes inactive as viruses aren’t really alive,” the professor said.
Thordarson explained that while alcohol-based disinfectants have similar effects, they are not really quite as good as normal soap. “The antibacterial agents in these products don’t affect the virus structure much at all.”
Soapy water is totally different, Thordarson said, because it “competes” with the lipids in the virus membrane.
The soap is effective in dissolving the glue that holds the virus together. It also outcompetes the interactions between the virus and the skin surface because soap contains fat-like substances known as amphiphiles structurally similar to the lipids in the virus membrane.
Most viruses consist of three key building blocks: RNA, proteins, and lipids.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recommends washing hands with soap and water.
“Hand washing reduces the amounts of all types of germs and chemicals on hands,” CDC said.
Thordarson also reminded people to thoroughly rub and soak the hands.
“The skin is quite rough and wrinkly which is why you do need a fair amount of rubbing and soaking to ensure the soap reaches every crook and cranny on the skin surface that could be hiding active viruses.”
With that being said, you may now stop hoarding alcohol and start washing your hands with soap.
hidni doc kasi sabi ni cast na may shadow eh wala daw checkpoint sa ortigas extension kasi wala naman ata labasan going probinsya jan parang ang alam ko dulo nya yung nababasa ko sa g.liner na tikling ba yun.
What gets my goat furter is that lots of paid trolls (not specifically here in this forum) are coming out in social media telling us to be more sympathetic to the government. Giving excuses like -- the man in Malacanang is already an old, overworked, guy and should be forgiven for his shortcomings and short sightedness. Sheesh. He should just retire and call it quits.
Others just can't stop singing praises and hallelujahs saying the president is still the best. Right. I wonder where they all left their brains.![]()

they're the ones bringing home the virus and infecting their elderly parents

pag sinabi dont affect the virus structure much at all eh parang sa scale of 1 to 10 eh 1 lang effectivity.

wala naman kasi nagsasabi superior ang alcohol sa handwashing
it's just that may mga time na wala lababo, tubig, at sabon
like pag labas mo ng grocery nilagay mo sa kotse mga nabili mo
maghahanap ka pa ba ng CR para mag hugas ng kamay?
kung may alcohol ka sa kotse pwede na yun kesa wala
This pandemic has a potential to bring down a presidency, if mishandled.
