Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

A typical virus has a sheath in effect of fatty material that soap or ethanol tears apart and the viral particle comes apart.

Soap, or detergent, molecules can solubilize fats in water, which is why they work at removing grease or dirt, and killing germs.  We are very fortunate to have access to such cheap and effective agents.

They form some rather interesting and complex structures in water called micelles.

I saw some kind of lady's wash that claims to contain "Micellar Water", as if that is some special kind of a thing.  Marketing.

I find it interesting that the possible new vaccine will requite storage in at a very low temp but the virus its supposed to protect against is not affected by normal temps

That is characteristic of RNA of about any type, and the vaccine is based on RNA.

Yeah, I think dry ice is accessible everywhere in the US except maybe Alaska in parts, and they can store it outside.  (Not really.)

If they ship vaccine to some very isolated community, they can easily ship additional dry ice as needed, it doesn't take much space.

It used to come to us in cubes about a foot on a side, a bit more, in a simple chest wrapped in brown paper.  It lasted quite a long time in a simple ice chest.

We used an ice pick to chip off pieces and then a grinder to get small pieces we'd mix with acetone.

Take it somewhere else. It's tired.
