how about, a ‘new and improved Lysol with copper’ maybe? Copper film like clear contact paper so it goes on counters? I wonder if that fancy copper workout gear would be any help for med staff? Wouldn’t want to ingest it tho - copper toxicity? (it’s fatal in camelids).

I've often said that if hospitals used copper alloys for door handles, stair rails, strike plates, switch covers, plumbing fixtures and the like; the infection rate inside would go way down.

My high school back in the 70's had copper and its alloys all over. It's been "improved" for energy efficiency with stainless and aluminum.

Silver is good too. Not talking about colloidal silver. Silver coins and foil made from hammered silver coins work as a wound dressing. Copper applied that way could be toxic.

You can just add some to Lysol and mist things down. Should help.

“Lysol with copper maybe”

Colloidal silver is probably better, it’s a well-known antiviral. You can make your own using electrolysis (both colloidal silver & copper) - water, the metal and a DC power source.

Think I’ll do some copper — good for grey hair, healing & skin health for old codgers.
