A novel method for dealing with the virus, using a hair dryer. Apparently heat is bad for it.

Is that why women are less susceptible? If my wife were deprived a hair drier out electric bill would dive.

UV light would be a LOT cheaper.

You could try a heat gun but it might burn a bit.

I can easily make it 150 degrees in here with our wood stove. I can treat us all at once, including the dog since evidently they can get it too

Blowing air onto a surface (e.g. via hairdryer or hand dryer) will succeed in blowing all pathogens throughout the surrounding area. Not a good idea.

We’ll never kill a virus.

Can’t “kill” ChiComContagion virus.
Viruses are not alive.

One “destroys” viruses, or “blocks” its transmisability.

Even if it did work, it takes ‘lectricity’ dontcha know and since that means coal, nuclear and nat. gas, that’s bad for the environment. The world would be better off if we was all dead!

On those same lines, I’m, wondering if all the restaurants that removed their paper towel dispensers to only use the high pressure air driers are regretting it. Similarly, are we going to see some common sense return regarding the use of plastic straws that are encased in some paper to keep the germs off of them?

I use an air purifier that has UV-C light. I've been using it since Dec 2015 to prevent mold after we had a flood. I haven't had to use mold/mildew removers in any of the showers ever since. It even completely destroys all pet odors including from litter boxes. Also, I'll move it down to the kitchen if I'm going to make chorizo or fish or anything that normally lingers in the air. Supposedly it deystroys odors from cigarette smoke too, but I can't say for sure since I don't smoke. It's the OION LB-7001

That’s a little too close for that size explosion with big fragments flying by.

"..,little too close for that size explosion..."

He's about the limit for triggering Tannerite with a .223 round. There are cases where guys have been seriously injured; one in which a guy had his leg blown off.

You really should be way back and use 300 ammo.

Also, don't use five pounds of the stuff to go boom.

In order to maintain diversity they should say you can either breath in the hot air or suck on the dryer’s tube.

Yeah I heard about that guy with the leg injury. I think it was fragments from a lawn mower.
