  1. No the detergent destroys the hull of the virus - it is explained in the video. Corona virus has a hull made up of fats and proteins, but it is not very stable. The virus is not "alive", it does not multiply on its own it needs the cells of living organisms for that. It gets inactivated, and that's it. Alcohol has the same property but it needs to be 60 %. So gentle soap and washing the hands thoroughly is the superpower agains the virus.

  2. The soap block is a VERY bad place for the virus to land on, it is going to be deactivated. If virus would be on the block and the next person uses it (soon after), but picks it up and creates the foam with water and rubs that into the hands for 20 - 30 seconds - the virus is inactivated for sure.   The best chances for the virus to not be deactivated immediately is if the soap block would be dry. If you used it the soap bar is of course at least slightly wet. And even if virus stays active (because by some coincidence virus droplets would land on a soap bar, even if you did not use the soap). - If you foam up the soap with water, that attacks the hull. the skin is not even (there are pores, and it takes a little time to get everywhere and to destroy the hull of the virus - thus the recommendations to have the soap / water mixture on your hands for 20 - 30 seconds.

  3. Yes because the company producing that drug would not push that. And the U.S. is the only country ever doing testing. It is not like a lot of governments would be extremely glad if there would be an effective treatment drug.

  4. So this is July 22, 2020 what happened to stereoids etc to treat CoVid-19 ??

  5. The FDA says it is unproven because there was little time to do any testing on the novel corona virus. Novel means they are in unchartered territory. There was some discussion (also pushed by Trump) about hydroxychloroquine. Well, no, that did not bear out. But now they have found some substances that show some effect. - The problem is you must test a) to see if there is an effect and b) drugs can have side effects or interact with other drugs. The only way to find that out is testing existing drugs (or developing new ones) and that takes time.

  6. Anyone that claimed in April there was a "proven" drug or treatment has no idea of medicine or has nefarious intentions. So either clueless (and blissfully ignorant about their inability to comment of medical issues) or intentionally and cynically misleading gullible persons.

  7. In April they for sure had testing going on (of existing drugs approved for other treatments) - we have some partial ! results now and some of it looks promising. But no one in their right mind (= experts that know what they are talking about) would have talked about a "proven" treatment in April 2020 - or now. These tests take time. Hydroxychloroquine increases the death rates, and does not help. so it makes things worse in some cases, while not even giving a benefit in other cases. Imagine that would have been used widely on an unproven assumption (and because Trump likely has financial interests in the company producing it). Actually they did involuntary testing (likely because of pressure of the Trump admin). veterans and patients in New Jersey and New York got it (the FDA gave a special licence for fast testing because of the pandemic, else they would never have been able to skip the phase where the company has to find volunteers and does small scale testing). It is not as if all patients were informed that they were guinea pigs. One journalist (Juan Gonzalez of Democracy Now) was well informed, his 90 year old mother had Co-Vid-19. At some point they needed the hospital. Doctor: normally your mother would not qualify for hydroxychloroquine, but she can have it. Juan Gonzale: is there any reason, she should get it. What is the science on how that could benefit my mother, are there any risks ? .... Doctor retracted quickly. My reaction then: hospital management likely asked doctors to push it (if the person has no counter indication, heart problems would be one, but I would also be very sceptical about a 90 year old. First test it with strong young patients, follow up how they are doing, then widen the base. But of course that takes time. Anyway she recovered, and they took her home, she did not even have to stay, maybe she got some oxygen supply for at home. Maybe they wanted to be in the good books of the trump admin (future stimulus bills, money). Hospitals do get money, so the federal gov. may have tied that to doing a study (but not like a normal study, not with the normal legal and other protocols). They also pushed the experimental treatment in New York hospitals and did not really inform the patients, until they or relatives started asking questions. Anyway: after the first negative results were out (tests), the tests for hydroxychloroquine were stopped. FDA revoked the permit for testing. :

  8. Normal bar of soap is fine. Even shampoo, shower gel, or dish soap works. or washing powder. Any mix of detergent with water. But for you skin: use quality soap (a bar), it is better for your skin than liquid soap. That is the best way to destroy the hull of the virus. 60 % alcohol works (if you have no basin and running water). But it is harder on your skin and more expensive.
