This is a lie, but a foreign lie. Ours, as usual, picked up too late and are now trying to fan the embers. I explain.
Somewhere in mid-November, a viral post about viruses appeared on the Internet. He became viral because he was scandalous. It said that the cetylpyridinium mouthwash kills the virus in 30 seconds.
Cetylpyridinium is a quaternary ammonium compound like benzalkonium. Jokes like this usually kill bacteria and act as a cationic detergent. That is, the calcium plaque is still rubbed off.
Our TV freaks immediately picked up the idea.
Let's figure it out. Guess which country might have done research with a mouthwash on an artificial mouth (i.e. in a test tube)?
You guessed it. It was held in Britain. British scientists from Cardiff University have suggested that cetylpyridinium from mouthwash could kill the virus in saliva.
Nothing was tested in public. No far-reaching conclusions were made. Then the representatives of Cardiff University even almost apologized, like this is still unverified and unrefereed by the scientific community
study and without any such conclusions. But it was too late.It is clear that scientists are haipanuli. But it seems that all the same they overdid it.
The Americans immediately pulled themselves up and said that back in the nineties of the last century, they tested how their branded mouthwash can deal with the flu virus in the same 30 seconds. So what? They did not take any practical benefit from this.
American infectious disease specialists gave interviews to TV people about the fact that it is stupidity to try to sterilize the mouth. You can't get a virus out like that. It will breed there anyway.
In short, there is currently no evidence that such rinsing can prevent infection or transmission of the virus.
