My wife met this couple that I think has something to do with her church at the recent local wine walk festivities that a little booth set up holy moly krakamoli that they get sold a bill of goods

I have spent (too) much time researching this subject, and have worked with residual bacteriastats for years before the coronavirus crisis. (Yes, I said bacteriastat. There isn’t yet a word for products that prevent viral presence.)

Scientific advancements can happen rapidly, especially when money meets powerful marketplace needs.

That said, these products need some very specific environmental circumstances to work, and are rapidly rendered ineffective if contaminants aren’t regularly cleaned from the surface.

Tests show impressive results, but to the best of my knowledge, independent tests aren’t yet available. I am aware of a product that EPA has allowed approval for some very narrow airline applications.

All of this is for a product to restrict viral activity on surfaces, which does zero for human to human spread, or airborne droplets.

I think that the resulting false sense of security it might create offsets it’s narrow range of benefits.

I am often cynical about products/services sold with the same type of marketing materials that you see used for dietary supplements and multi-level marketing “programs”.

If you've ever been trapped by "friends", neighbors, or fellow churchgoers

capitalizing on the panic .
They'll make a bundle giving freek'd folks a little added sense of security.


As long as they're not making false claims, I don't see anything other than making a buck that a new market circumstance has provided

It lasts for 90 days??? GTFO!

The last 5 months have more than sullied my usual positive outlook on humanity.

From the "Business Opportunity" people with "facts that aren't quite facts" on one side....to the people buying thermal foggers and smoke deodorizer and "fogging for da Rona" for cash in poor neighborhoods, there is enough despicable behavior going on to fill the hell I hope exists to overflowing.

As I’ve shared, we spray daily as requested and we spray a lot. Granted, we’re making a lot, but we make no promises whatsoever. We do not go outside our customer base, and they know exactly
what they’re getting. The very longest I’ve seen any chemical effectiveness is 24hrs. Not sure about that one way or another. By the way, I was a regular church goer before Covid, but I haven’t been since March😥 But, I Hate Amway!!

though this disease is new and therefore they're still learning about it. It is the same as most infectious diseases, person to person the most likely cause of infection, surface contact 2nd.

which is why social distancing, face masks, handwashing is still the most effective precaution just like it has been for decades
