Viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza are lipophilic, enveloped viruses, and are relatively easy to inactivate by exposure to alcohols. The envelope mainly consists of the lipid bilayer, taken from the host cells at assembly/budding stage of the viral life cycle. Therefore the constitution of the lipid bilayer should be common in all SARS, MERS and influenza viruses, even after mutations, and thus these closely-related viruses will be disinfected by exposure to ethanol with the same concentration. Existing experimental data indicate that an ethanol concentration of 30~40 v/v% is sufficient to inactivate Influenza-A viruses in solution[1,2,3].
The author suggests that it may be possible to use alcoholic beverages of 16~20 v/v% concentration for this disinfection process, such as Whisky (1:1 hot water dilution) or Japanese Sake, because they are readily available and safe (non-toxic). By inhaling the alcohol vapor at 50~60°C (122~140°F) through the nose for one or two minutes, it will condense on surfaces inside the respiratory tract; mainly in the nasal cavity. The alcohol concentration will be intensified to ~36 v/v% by this process, which is enough to disinfect the corona virus on the mucous membrane. In this situation, our respiratory tract essentially works as an alcohol distillation apparatus (a condenser). This method also provides more moisture into respiratory tract, and helps to clean the inside of the nasal cavity by stimulating blowing of the nose, and also makes the mucous escalator work actively so that the self-clearing mechanism in the trachea will remove viruses faster.

This, plus the UVC light
(remember President Trump’s phrase “disappear in a flash of light”?)
will make the nevertrumpers, tds’ers, Deepstate, and dems go into orbit.
Ethanol, isn’t that GASOLINE!
LOL!
Gotta feeling this is going to be a fun thread.

So huffing Everclear will cure CCP virus.
Coool!

Frantically pouring everclear into my e-cigarette as we speak.....
Only in a Hot Toddy formulation, it appears.
Bring out the Ole Cognac Snifters
Sounds like fun. I volunteer for the trial!
Everclear will protect against almost anything! Hell, it is a tried and true defense against probing bears (old backpacking and camping trick: sprinkle some Everclear around your tent; bears tend to stay away from that area).

Just might make your day a little brighter.

Same crap thats trashing our chain saws and snowblowers and other small engines.

“Only in a Hot Toddy formulation, it appears. Bring out the Ole Cognac Snifters.”
You bet!
If the everclear could be placed into a spray bottle with the spray mist adjustment and then the person could inhale the mist into the nostrils. Or maybe get an Afrin Nasal Spray. Empty out the Afrin liquid and install the everclear and then spray the everclear into the nostrils. And inhale through the nostrils. I mean, would that work?!
I could skip the reperatory disinfection therapy and just begin breathing in the hot whiskey fumes while I am sipping?
This is starting to look real good to a Scotsman with libation tendencies.
Such therapy must get one more than slightly snogged.
Whodduh thunk it? Snorting our booze is life saving? The cocain freaks had it right after all??
Back in the 70’s i got a most horrible case of flu. I couldn’t breath and the only thing that gave me relief was gargling gin. It was the only thing that could cut that phlegm. I was sick for months as I had a laryngitis that took months to heal. We didntthink of going to the doctor back then for a cold. We just toughed it out. So ya.. i wouldnt be surprised to learn simple cures exist.
Friend says you can inhale the clorox vapors and would work the same.
