I constantly keep seeing people posting things like, if this covid-19 Coronavirus is so dangerous how come soap can kill it! People need to understand that this virus is very dangerous and can kill, and people need to understand that soap does NOT KILL this virus.
I repeat, soap does NOT kill this virus. The Coronavirus is made up of proteins and lipids and what the soap does is act like washing up liquid does; it breaks down the bonds of proteins and lipids and prevents them from attaching (clinging / sticking) to surfaces, like your skin. So the soap removes the virus from you but does not kill it, just like washing up liquid removes grease and dirt from your dishes.
Soap only removes the virus, it does NOT kill it!
