1. And the revival of spittoons, no doubt.

[ret5hd]

2. Should I inject it or what?

[Kali]

3. not too surprising

alcohol works as a hand sanitizer too

[Turin_C3PO]

4. Cue the mouthwash hoarding.

[Budi]

9. No shit!. Interesting advance in research, BUT it is only now being submitted for peer review..

It showed a difference in test tubes designed to simulate the nasal cavity.

Guess I should have bought those stocks in mouthwash last week!
😬

[woodsprite]

10. Oh Gawd! Now people will be using mouthwash in neti pots. nt

[Budi]

14. Haaaaha. Omg , you know they will!

I hate netti pots. Effective maybe, but the sinus infection one can get if the pot isn't properly cleaned after EVERY use is gruesome & can be deadly as well.

5. ..."mouthwashes containing at least 0.07% cetypyridinium chloride (CPC)..More

Snip

The university report states that mouthwashes containing at least 0.07% cetypyridinium chloride (CPC) showed "promising signs" of being able to eradicate the virus when exposed to the virus in a lab.



Dr Richard Stanton, lead author on the study, said: "This study adds to the emerging literature that several commonly-available mouthwashes designed to fight gum disease can also inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (and other related coronaviruses) when tested in the laboratory under conditions that are designed to mimic the oral/nasal cavity in a test tube.

"This study is not yet peer reviewed and published which means it has not yet been scrutinised by other scientists as is the usual process with academic research. It has now been submitted for publication in a journal.

"[IPeople should continue to follow the preventive measures issued by the UK government, including washing hands frequently and maintaining social distance."

6. Wouldn't This Have Been Helpful Several Months Ago?

I can't believe it took them this long to figure out that there is a common OTC product that people could have been using. I'm skeptical.

[chia]

15. This info was around several months ago and I stocked up on a few bottles and started using daily

This is once simple thing I can do that can have benefits in other ways and if it kills Covid - so, so much the better.

16. I Haven't Used Mouthwash Much, Since I've Been Staying Home A Lot nt

[handmade34]

7. how 'bout

I just continue to drink my gin on a regular basis???

[RainCaster]

8. How much do I have to snort? Each nostril?

That doesn't sound like fun.

[Budi]

12. Maybe Don trump Jr was really their tester! It wasn't cocaine it was MOUTHWASH!

Ya know, for the good of the country.
Was he was the sacrificial lamb of the family?

[oregonjen]

11. While at my dentist's office, all patients were required to use a hydrogen peroxide

mouthwash before a cleaning or other treatments.

13. Aha!! Buffett fking knew!

Through his Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Warren Buffett invested in four Big Pharma companies in the third quarter, according to Berkshire's 13F filing. More than $1.8 billion was put in AbbVie (21.2M shares), Bristol Myers Squibb (30M shares), and Merck (22.4M shares), as well as $136 million in Pfizer (3.71M shares).

Berkshire Hathaway Inc KNEW!
Doesn't Bristol Myers Squibb make... (ahem)...Mouthwash?

Warren!

17. What about, ya know ... breathing the virus in through your nose?

Isn't it more common to get infected with diseases generally through that route?

I don't see how mouthwash is going to help with that.

[LaMouffette]

18. I think you're right. Covid prefers the nose. But maybe they could develop a nasal spray . . .

that you could use, like, every hour on the hour when you have to be in public, that would kill Covid (without killing us or our brain cells or nasal lining).

[mr_lebowski]

19. Kindof a cleansing you mean? Knocks it out in a minute?

[LaMouffette]

20. Me again! They just came out with a nasal spray that works--if you're a ferret!

That's a good start! Here's the link:

25. i would imagine saline sprays would work. salt water mouth wash, too.

i use saline spray when i get sniffles, rarely get a full blown cold.
been using salt water to rinse my mouth since i got a couple teeth pulled last week. think i will make it a habit.

[soothsayer]

21. Don't drink it!

And don’t eat toothpaste

[SCantiGOP]

22. And another reason:

My dentist told me that if he could only brush or use mouthwash any day, he would choose the mouthwash.

[Bradshaw3]

23. A potential logistical problem

Let's say you use it in the morning but then are exposed to Covid at night, after a day of drinking water, tea, etc. Then you use the mouthwash again in the morning after the virus has had all night to circulate. Or are you supposed to use mouthwash all day long? Doesn't seem practical.

[lettucebe]

24. Ha ha, so tRump wasn't that far off on his "drink the bleach" idea

Though you are not supposed to drink mouthwash either, and not sure how this is really going to help anyone unless they constantly are swishing mouthwash for 30 seconds. You do it after you get home, way too much time has passed for it to kill much virus, plus the majority is entering through the nose, not the mouth. Sounds like a way to get mouthwash off the shelves though.

[applegrove]

26. How do you get it into your nose? Do you stand on your head?

[TheRealNorth]

27. Neti pot

although I wouldn't recommend it at this point - I would think that the alcohol could damage the cells lining the nasal cavity or dry it out and impair its normal function.

This could result in you being more susceptible to airborne pathogens when you are not actively treating your nasal cavity.

[applegrove]

28. Really. Also affects your gut. Also you should never put anything but

distilled water up your nose as it is close to your brain in some places.

[7wo7rees]

29. Beware

What are the chances this study was funded by Listerine?

Just sayin'.

Oil and gas did it to us for 80 years.

Wear a mask. See you next Chistmas.
