What better way to fight coronavirus: soap or hand sanitizer?
Washington, D.C. - March 6: a basket of smaller bottles of hand sanitizer in a coronavirus pop-up shop by adilisha patrom, owner of suite DC, Gallaudet University University) the novel coronavirus, which is a new joint operation and activity space across the street, sells mask, gloves and hand washing stores for the spread of new coronavirus in the NoMa community in Washington, D.C., in March 6, 2020. Around the world, it is increasingly difficult to find protective equipment and hand sanitizers, especially the N95 face shield, which costs $30, three times the normal price.

With the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, people are looking for various ways to prevent the spread of the virus. Experts from all over the world are making suggestions on how to keep away from people, how long to isolate yourself and how to keep healthy. One secret that has been around since the beginning of the crisis: keep your hands clean. You can use soap or hand sanitizer, but it's worth mentioning: which is better?
Palli thordarson, a professor at the University of New South Wales school of chemistry, provides a solid foundation for everyone and explains why and how soap kills the coronavirus. In the video, he also explains the difference between hand sanitizer and soap in killing viruses.
"The whole virus basically collapses like a house of cards," sodarson said at the start of the video, then delved into why soap is essential to fight disease. Soap molecules are similar to lipid membranes, and they get into them and start messing them up. It weakens it, and it also takes some membranes out of the virus. " He added before explaining how the virus died. He also subdivided the effects of hand sanitizers on viruses and explained which worked better. Spoiler Alert: it's soap. Watch the clip below.
He even took a step further and tweeted a series of details about why soap is so important for killing viruses and how it works. Here are some highlights:
Disinfectants or liquids containing alcohol (or soap) have similar effects on wet towels, gels and cream, but they are actually not as good as ordinary soap.
In terms of their effect on viruses, many antibacterial products are basically just expensive versions of soap.
When you cough, or especially sneeze, small drops of water in your respiratory tract can fly to 10 meters (30 feet)! The larger are thought to be the main coronavirus carriers, which can walk at least 2 m (7 ft). So – cover up people who cough and sneeze!
Wood, fabric and skin interact strongly with the virus. The ideal surface for skin, especially for viruses. "So when you touch a steel surface with viral particles, it will stick to your skin and transfer to your hands. But you are not infected. If you touch the face, the virus may transfer from your hands to the face. " Once on your face, the virus is dangerously close to the respiratory tract and mucous membranes in and around your mouth and eyes. As a result, the virus can enter and infect you (unless your immune system kills the virus).
The surface structure is also important - the flatter the surface, the less likely the virus will stick to it. Rough surfaces actually pull the virus apart.
It is believed that sars-cov-2 coronavirus can remain active on favorable surfaces for several hours, or even one day. Water, sunlight and heat can destabilize the virus.
Water alone is not very effective at getting rid of the virus in our hands. Alcohol products work better. But nothing beats Soap - the virus falls off the skin and breaks down easily in soapy water.
