If hand sanitizers don’t kill viruses what does?

bleach? Hydrogen peroxide?

Bleach is great.

I often think we could solve just about all diseases if we could harness it without harming anything else. Cancer included.

You don’t even want bleach on your healthy skin.

Too bad.

It’s great for cleaning surfaces but not on a human.

Bleach and peroxide and ozone will kill most anything: they oxidize the hell out of the any cell walls, and once lysis has occurred, it's all over.

I once read in P.J. O'Rourke's All The Troubles In The World that they still relied on old-fashioned methods due to lack of money when treating cholera in Haiti: four drops of bleach in a gallon of water (let it sit awhile).

I prefer a stronger solution (1 capful of Clorox per 0.5 liter) but the same principle applies.
