That is interesting... I noticed in the discussion:

“Bleach, povidone/iodine, 70% ethanol, chloroxylenol, chlorhexidine, benzalkonium chloride, and hand soap. Hand soap took longer (still virus after 5 minutes), but inactivated virus after 10 min. This doesn’t mean hand soap doesn’t work, because washing hands also rinses virus off”
