Nick, this almost sounds like Trump's suggestion to inhale Lysol, or whatever he said.  Sorry.  

I am not a materials scientist  but I know one.  By the way, where has Bill been?

Any materials experts out there?

 

Ok, so.  We know that most covid transmission is hand to face and we know that the virus is highly vulnerable to acids and some other substances.  Is it not possible to design gloves (and perhaps masks) with those substances embedded?  How about cloth gloves dunked in vinegar and hung out to dry before wearing?  Is vinegar still acid when it’s dry? 

 

Yeah.  I know.  Dumb.  But somebody explain to me why.
