    1/25 Part 1 - Why does soap work so well on the SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus and indeed most viruses? Because it is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer.

        Ridiculous! Your black magic will anger the gods. Sacrificing 3 goats to Poseidon is far more efficacious for preventing infection and in treatment.

        I do occasionally ask residents in the OR why we use both soap and paint on the operative field and it's surprising how often they haven't thought about it before. Saponification and sterilization are separate and complementary.

        It is kind of interesting that they were rendering animal fat to make soap for centuries, long before germ theory.
