EPA Releases List Of Best Disinfectants To Use Against Coronavirus
Breitbart ^ | 3-7-2020 | Amy Furr

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a list Tuesday of qualified disinfectants to use for protection against the coronavirus.

“The EPA-registered disinfectant products on our Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2 list have qualified under EPA’s emerging viral pathogen program for use against SARS-CoV-2, a coronavirus that causes COVID-19,” the website stated.

Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses, which means they are among the easiest types to kill with the appropriate disinfectant, according to the EPA.

There may be additional disinfectants that meet the criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2. EPA will update this list with additional products as needed,” the agency stated.

Some of the product brands on the EPA’s list include:

•Clorox Healthcare Bleach Germicidal Cleaner Spray
•Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
•Lysol Disinfectant Max Cover Mist
•Professional Lysol Disinfectant Spray
•Purell Professional Surface Disinfectant Wipes
•Peak Disinfectant Wipes
•Sani-Prime Germicidal Spray
•Sani-Cloth Prime Germicidal Disposable Wipe

The virus is believed to be spread by people in close contact with each other and through respiratory droplets produced when a person infected with the virus coughs or sneezes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website.

“It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads,” the site read.

In a press release Thursday, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said using the right disinfectant is a huge part of preventing and reducing the spread of illness.

“There is no higher priority for the Trump Administration than protecting the health and safety of Americans,” he noted, adding, “EPA is providing this important information in a public and transparent manner

That’s because those are all ethyl alcohol, and all the ones they recommended are somewhat stronger.

Thanks. I'll put some lemon juice into my bleach solution.

My son works out at the gym a lot and he’s working at Starbucks while he is in school. Talk about a double whammy! All those thousands of hands touching the gym equipment and all those thousands of hands touching cash and surfaces in Starbucks. I’ve stressed the importance of hand-washing when leaving those places and washing when he gets home, but he’s got a thick skull.

What Kills Coronavirus

The people who put that site together depend on a lot of EPA data. They suggest:

A better choice for killing a life-threatening, emerging strain of Human Coronavirus like Covid-19, is to use EPA registered products that became registered to kill the deadly Human Coronaviruses: SARS in 2002 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and MERS in 2012 (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome).

A product that is capable of killing the deadly SARS will say both:

If it is capable of killing MERS, is should read: It will either say it on the label (if we’re lucky) or it will be listed on the company website or the EPA website if you enter the product’s EPA Registration Number.

Example of a product that kills SARS related Coronavirus – Hard to Find Lysol Citrus Scent Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner II – (must include the II on the end)

So What Should We Look For When Trying to Kill a New Deadly Coronavirus?

“Antibacterial” is not the phrase we’re looking for. We want “virucidals” or “anti-viral” kill claims. Then, we should look for SARS and MERS.

That title goes to Lord Quaalude

Wonder if they work on corona virus

Good excuse as any to bring that wonder drug back ...

It should be first course of action for menopausal women who’ve lost that itch

Quaaludes just made girls crave sex

What a drug

Sorry those under 55 missed it

That is only 50% alcohol. They cut the proof with lots of water.

I do that too to get it down to 100 proof
