How Accurate and Ethical is the Information on your Hand Sanitizer? |Biomedgrid

I hold in my hand the bottle of hand sanitizer I applied before I started typing this letter to the editor. The label says, “kills 99.9% of germs”. Really?! I hate to burst the bubble and rain on the parade of the millions of people using hand sanitizers in this sad season of the corona virus, but you have to know a secret. nobody has ever killed the corona virus or any other virus. Ever. If by killing, you mean irrevocably taking away life so the entity never comes back. When we use insecticides on insects they die and never come back. When a pet dog is run over by a truck and dies it never comes back.
