70% ethanol is effective on viruses with a lipid membrane (coronaviruses, influenza viruses, paramyxoviruses {measles, mumps, parainfluenza viruses, etc.}, & even Ebola viruses. When alcohol evaporates, it dehydrates the viral particles & destroys the viral membrane.

For this reason, many (not all) hand sanitizers are alcohol based. So, please let sanitizer dry on hands or surfaces - wiping it away immediately does NOT help. It’s the process of alcohol evaporating that destroys viral membranes.

Yikes. There’s like 50% prevalence of TB in US jails. Honestly, it’s criminal.
