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.

You know that’s how CNN would approach it. “Trump says drink ethanol gasoline”
About a dozen years ago, I picked up a used nebulizer at a thrift store, a device for aerosolizing medication so you could inhale it. This was before I stopped drinking and I wanted to put high proof liquor into it and imbibe booze via my lungs rather than drinking it (or in addition to drinking it). The idea was that the alcohol would hit my bloodstream quicker that way. It basically didn’t work for that purpose, and the device is long gone. Never thought of it as a way to sanitize my lungs.
My wife puts chlorine (bleach) tablet in the toilet water as a deodorizer. Does breathing those fumes kill the virus... (or me)?
This is certain fake news and planted disinformation.
And any 8th grader could spot it.
It takes 70% alcohol to kill the ‘rona on hard, cold surfaces.
That would probably dry out and irritate the nasal membranes.
Vape shots were a thing a couple of years ago. They fill a liter bottle with booze vapor, and you such it out with a straw.
Cheapo version sells for $30 or so. Glass orb that you pour a shot into, then place atop a glass that has dinky [lit] candle at the bottom. Then inhale from the orb through a straw.
Even if this concept cured 100% of the cases in 5 minutes, the DNC media complex would condemn it. Trump should tweet adamant opposition to this idea and HCQ, then see how long before the media tout them as the second coming.

Doesnt sound like an 8th grader to me.
Its not news its a report/theory
If using Tequila, then how does get the lime and salt down the respiratory passages to have the desired effect ,,,,>>
Gin and tonic is the answer.
“Its not news its a report/theory”
Actually, it’s unmitigated bullshit.
I always knew that gin martinis were good for you.
It’s a farce.
Once a day will be enough. It is better to perform this method at dinner time, and should not drive car right after this.
Cant just see someone telling the police officer after taking breath analyzer
“No officer I was not drinking - I was just inhaling alcohol vapor to kill corona virus.....”
Yea sure Whatever YOU say.
So running behind a platoon of Marines on Monday morning when they are doing PT will cure the China flu.
My wife knows this works without the study. I warm up Bacardi for her for her occasional colds. She breathes in the vapors, near instant cure.
I could put everclear in the wife’s nebulizer!
