huffing for life
viral disrupter in bag, breaths from bag, feel better in isolation. Possibly kill virus | |
I was trying to do a 3D print, the cleaning chemicals, well, are quite volatile and I had the thought, Just how delicate is a virus?. Possibly, there are chemicals that rupture the virus lipid bi-layer by getting past those glycoprotein protrusions via a gaseous form.
This could be a clever choice
of huffing chemicals but realize they can cross the blood-brain barrier with long term use. Huffing is breathing in a overpowering concentration of a volatile, usually a light polar molecule, to get high. These chemicals, with the short term use, are mildly negative but may also carry the ability that can destroy viruses.
By destroy, I mean rupture which allows the personal immune response to form antibodies on the scattered parts.
And with the right chemical, the 14 days will float by.

Hasn't this been looked into? If not it should be. |
|
| |
Bun for being a fellow 3d printer too. |
|
| |
Yes 3d printers rock. Built mine with a Makers group from a kit. |
|
| |
What chemicals did you have in mind for rupturing viruses? |
|
| |
I spy with my little electron microscope something ending with -
ase. |
|
| |
I would have thought -ases are too heavy so was thinking lowly ethanol depending on it's llpid cutting abilities. Miscible acetone is a step up and then there are the non polar solvents like toluene, butane but exposure should be limited. |

Anything that will damage the virus for the immune system, are not overall to damaging and have a slight euphoric lift. |

You may be huffing something good. Since I've read that humidity reduces some coronaviruses (and aircon doesn't) I've been taking 45 minute steaming showers. There must be some reason people also take saunas, other than to see naked Finnish women. |

Chlorine Trifluoride will kill coronavirus. |
|
| |
If ethanol would do it, wouldn't getting drunk be easier? |

Have you read that from recent sources (within the past 2 years)? It seems like that used to be the thinking (counterintuitively, based on the humidity getting in the way of airborne pathogens, I think?), but there was a study a couple of years ago that, IIRC, found that flu viruses were unaffected by humidity in more realistic conditions. So I'm not sure. |

What I read just last night was that a new study [link] (just published the other day) found that SARS-CoV-2 is not carried in aerosols. The news article I read [link] that was based on it said that the virus is carried in large droplets from sneezing and coughing, and those large droplets quickly (how quickly?) fall to the ground within 2 meters of release, but didn't cite a source for those claims. |

Am linking to the humidity related paper. I've been reading the opposite about Covid-19 in recent days, with suggestions that a cough or sneeze can remain suspended in air for 2 hours. |

Edit: the paper you linked said 3 hours |
