If you’re thinking about relying solely on Lysol to protect yourself from coronavirus, you may want to rethink your plans and perhaps listen to President Donald Trump’s advice instead. Why? Well for one, does Lysol even kill the new strain of coronavirus!? While the question may sound ridiculous at first glance, it’s actually 100 percent legitimate. The question reportedly first appeared sometime this month when a Facebook user pointed out that the advertising information on the back of Lysol cans lists ‘Human Coronavirus’ among a slew of diseases and conditions that the disinfectant’s allegedly able to eliminate from surfaces.

We noticed that on a can of Lysol wipes at work, and the wipes are like a year old. More hype by the RATS and their media whores.

from WebMD:
Coronaviruses were first identified in the 1960s. They get their name from their crown-like shape. Past severe coronavirus outbreaks include:
1) Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS): About 858 people have died from MERS, which first appeared in Saudi Arabia and then in other countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
2) Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ( SARS ): In 2003, 774 people died from an outbreak.

I understand that the flu, upper-respiratory illnesses, SARS and others are coronaviruses.

WHAT YOU NEED T KNOW. A Disinfectant is NOT a sterilant! Lysol may get some of the germs but not all. A better solution is alcohol and alcohol wipes. Bleach works well but obvious side effects like bleaching surfaces (discoloration). Get you some alcohol swabs in the pharmacy - the kind diabetics use to sterilize their injection sites. I used to take them on planes and sterilize the tray table, arm rests and if on the window - the window! Get some rubbing alcohol. get those shopping cart handles and keep a tissue handy to open doors. Your protection begins with you. Hand sanitizer should be used.

Many years ago, peroxide was used in hospitals to kill germs & viruses on most surfaces - mainly hard surfaces like floors & walls - toilets, porcelain counters, etc. For whatever reason, its use was discontinued in favor of bleach, which was less effective but - maybe cheaper (?). Alcohol works also, but is probably the third most effective after peroxide & bleach (clorox). But, alcohol is probably much safer on soft surfaces - like your hands, carpets, napkins, etc.

there are many coronaviruses. Lysol MAY work against new strain - i don't believe anyone has had a chance to test it. but it probably won't hurt.

In pooh-poohing Lysol as a possible aid in protection from this Coronavirus, I notice that the CDC spokesperson uses a lot of “this virus is thought to be” … but they don’t have proof. I imagine it gives them the willies to see this Lysol thing publicized. My late Mother thought Lysol would kill just about anything.
Viruses can be spread by coughing and sneezing and are said to remain on hard surfaces like railings, telephones, TV remotes, etc. for as long as 3 weeks. They should stop using weasel words like “the virus is thought to….” Meaningless without proof.

And sunlight. Vitamin D. Flu is seasonal and dissipates with the increase in daylight and longer exposure to sunshine. There is research that Vitamin D is actually better than the flu shot for prevention. But I'm not a doctor, do your own research, and take normal precautions as with any flu/respiratory illness.

Unlike bacteria, viruses can't be killed - because they aren't alive in the first place.

Use Lysol, Clorox wipes, and wash your hands all the time. Your hands make get chapped, but that's why they make hand lotion. You'd be surprised how much hand lotion is used in the hospital.

In the old days my mother used Lysol in the brown glass bottle and said it would kill anything. But, she used DDT too.
I can't stand the smell of cleaners so I use peroxide and Dawn mixed together.
