    Default Human coronaviruses ‘inactivated’ by mouthwash, oral rinses: study

    A new study conducted by researchers at the Penn State College of Medicine has found that a common dental item can inactivate human coronaviruses: mouthwash and oral rinses.

    For the study, the results of which were published in the Journal of Medical Virology, researchers tested various oral and nasopharyngeal rinses — which included a 1% solution of baby shampoo, a neti pot, peroxide sore-mouth cleansers, and mouthwashes — to determine how well they inactivated human coronaviruses.

    The baby shampoo solution, “which is often used by head and neck doctors to rinse the sinuses,” the researchers noted in a news release regarding the findings, was particularly effective; the solution inactivated “greater than 99.9% of human coronavirus after a two-minute contact time,” they said.

    The mouthwash and oral rinses were also efficacious, they found: "Many inactivated greater than 99.9% of virus after only 30 seconds of contact time and some inactivated 99.99% of the virus after 30 seconds.”

    Cool finding, but I'm not sure what practical use that would have. If it kills the virus in your mouth that's great, but it's not going to get to the virus cells in your nose and throat that come out when you cough or sneeze.

    From article:

    More specifically, researchers “used a test to replicate the interaction of the virus in the nasal and oral cavities with the rinses and mouthwashes,” as the nasal and oral cavities are thought to be main points of entry for human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, better known as COVID-19. Though the researchers didn’t specifically test SARS-CoV-2 in the study, the novel virus is genetically similar to the other human coronaviruses tested, leading the researchers to hypothesize that the results would be similar.

    Quick someone invent the mouthwash mask!

    Like the beer helmets, this send mouthwash into the mouth through the mask. It needs to have a drainage tube for the excess mouth wash to drain from.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    Wave, can you check real quick if setting yourself on fire inactivates the virus? First you will need to contract the virus. This means you have to make out with Dave, he has the virus now.

    Just kidding. It's great that baby shampoo and mouthwash have this application, I'm glad to know this. Maybe how it helps isn't obvious to me but who knows, maybe swish around some baby shampoo after a trip into that wasteland of virus-danger called 'the outside world'.

    What is the helpful application of this, anyways?

    You say this as if I don't make out with Dave on the daily.
