Coronavirus is a virus with a coating made of lipids. (Fats) That coating can easily be dissolved by soap and water. Once the coating dissolves, the virus is inert, a useless bit of RNA. 60degrees for 30 minutes is overkill. As soon as the virus is hit by a detergent it’s curtains. You could hand wash your mask in washing up liquid with the same effect. Cold or hot, makes no difference to the virus.

Hi Mike,
Do you know how the PCR test works? Is it testing for the RNA virus itself or something else? Has the RNA virus ever been isolated in it's pure form?
Thanks

I can't understand why shops say they can't enforce mask wearing,shops are able to make their own rules,if you tried to walk in the supermarket as a guy with your t shirt off you would be asked to leave,I have been asked to pull down the hood on my hoodie,if you ever try and film anything in a supermarket you are jumped on very quickly.
