JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL on the Corona Virus

[Doyle Phillips]

From a friend in Paris--dp

For those who don't already know this, here is some very helpful
information about the virus from Johns Hopkins Hospital.

The following is from ______, whose daughter is an Asst. Prof in
infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins University, quite informative.

* The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered
by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of
the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code. (mutation)
and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.

* Since the virus is not a living organism but a protein molecule, it is
not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the
temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.

* The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin
outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy,
because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you have to rub so much: for 20
seconds or more, to make a lot of foam).

By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down
on its own.

* HEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 77 degrees
Fahrenheit for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot
water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.

* Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT,
especially the external lipid layer of the virus.

* Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the
protein, breaks it down from the inside.

* Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine, because
peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it pure and it
hurts your skin.

* NO BACTERICIDE OR ANTIBIOTIC SERVES. The virus is not a living organism
like bacteria; antibiotics cannot kill what is not alive.

* NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or cloth. While it is glued
to a porous surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only
-between 3 hours (fabric and porous),
-4 hours (copper and wood)
-24 hours (cardboard),
- 42 hours (metal) and
-72 hours (plastic).

But if you shake it or use a feather duster, the virus molecules float in
the air for up to 3 hours, and can lodge in your nose.

* The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial as
air conditioners in houses and cars.

They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore,
dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.

* UV LIGHT on any object that may contain it breaks down the virus protein.
For example, to disinfect and reuse a mask is perfect. Be careful, it also
breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin.

* The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.

* Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer
of fat.

* NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, serve. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you
need 65%.
Edit: there are a few alcohols more than 65%, and Vodka does come in 50%,
but still not strong enough to kill the virus.

* The more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there
can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.

* You have to wash your hands before and after touching mucosa, food,
locks, knobs, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches, computers,
desks, TV, etc. And when using the bathroom.

* You have to Moisturize dry hands from so much washing them, because the
molecules can hide in the micro cracks. The thicker the moisturizer, the
better.

* Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.
