(363 posts)Disinfecting large areas doesn't help much against a virus that we don't know much about yet. It helps the populace feel better - that 'somebody is doing something', and it does help them take the idea of the spreading infection more seriously, but it won't do much to slow anything down.

Don't we all remember these provisos from just a few years ago?
Just use plain soap: not the antibacterial stuff (which doesn't affect viruses anyway). It's more effective and less dangerous to the biosphere.
