In New Zealand we've been told not to follow his advice. Especially not to wash our food with soap, water will do just fine. Ingesting soap wrecks havoc on internal organs

@albecker2982 And how do you test that you've rinsed the soap off thoroughly? You don't know. You might have just poisoned your food, especially porous fruit and vegetables that will absorb that soap

@azurenojito2251 Do you have porous skin, do you?

@lyricist71 Nicotine patches have to be on the skin a long time to eventually be absorbed. Soap isn't usually on the skin long enough to make it through the protective barrier that is our skin. No skin isn't porous, it has low permeability, it is our first line of defense against many things

@lyricist71 That's fine, but the point is we're not talking about leaving soap on our skin to see how long it takes to be absorbed by our skin. The argument is that ingesting soap is bad for our internal organs, and therefore washing porous foods with soap could cause said soap to soak into the food, causing internal damage to anyone eating it

@lyricist71 In a time where we don't want to overwhelm the health system, doing our best to keep ourselves safe, including not ingesting poison, is the best we can do for everyone. And yes even a child can know that, as you say

@lyricist71 and noone 'knows sufficiently' - the best you'll be doing is guessing

@lyricist71 NOW what are you talking about. Whose talking about vinegar? My post is about soap. And ingesting soap helps noone. That's why my country does not find this guy's tips helpful in the slightest. The last thing you want to do is damage or overwork your immune system by ingesting soap, and then catch the virus. You're guaranteed a trip to the morgue then.

@lyricist71 That is silly. Specialist in my country spend years to study specific things to serve me and the public. If we don't think what they've learnt serves us, we say so by voting them out. I'm glad I live in a place where common sense is still relevant in those who are in charge, and in those that they serve. Now, I'm only talking about soap, and if you like going on tangents so much, go find your amusements elsewhere. MY POST that you are commenting on, is about soap. That's it.

@lyricist71 Palm to the face oh my god, do you need schooling on specialists too? We're I'm from that term isn't dished out like lollies. Where I'm from, specialists are responsible for other people's lives, so they don't 'just read this' or 'just do that'. Their work is specialized, stressful, under paid and life saving. It's their job to learn from as many knowledge bases about this virus. I'm talking about people who work with viruses. Yes they are specialists.
