Ice Age Now by Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser 3/24/2020
This Government of Canada website (accessed on March 13, 2020, 2150 EDT), provides only one basic advice, namely thorough handwashing.
There’s nothing wrong with that advice per se, but is not an advice on “disinfection†of any surface that may harbor the corona or another type of virus.
There is a fundamental difference between “Cleansing†and “Disinfectionâ€
A “cleansing agentâ€, such as ordinary soap, dish-washer detergent, and the like needs some additional “action†to do their Job. Rubbing your hands with the soap, using several stages of wash and rinse cycles in the dishwasher, or wiping the counter with a cloth are such actions. However, none of those are truly “100% disinfecting.â€
However, for organisms like viruses, that can survive for days on all kinds of surfaces other than skin, that â€cleansing†alone, obviously, is insufficient to stop the spread of such organisms. For example, the COVID-19 virus has been claimed to be able to survive on metal and plastic surfaces for up to 72 hours. Other data suggest this survival time to be much lower. It likely depends very much on the air humidity, temperature, surface properties and so on.
If one wants to “disinfect†a surface, as opposed to “cleansing†it, one needs a more rigorous method, .i.e. the application of disinfectant.
Disinfection
If it’s so simple to “disinfectâ€, i.e. to destroy bacteria and viruses, why do our governments not state—publicly, in newspaper, radio, and TV ads—what to use, where, when, and how for all citizens to know?
