Sunlight, Alcohol And Bleaching Kills Coronavirus Faster - New Study Reveals.

By Editor



Coronavirus dies in sunlight in just minutes, groundbreaking Homeland Security study reveals.

SUNLIGHT could kill the coronavirus within minutes, the US Department of Homeland Security revealed Thursday.

New research from the DHS Science and Technology directorate found that high humidity, temperatures, and sunlight kills the virus in saliva droplets on non-porous surfaces and in the air.

"Our most striking observation to date is the powerful effect that solar light appears to have in killing the virus on surfaces and in the air," said DHS Science and Technology Advisor Bill Bryan.

"We've seen a similar effect as well where increasing the temperature and humidity or both is generally less favorable to the virus."

The game-changing findings of the joint effort between the DHS's Science and Technology directorate and Donald Trump's Coronavirus task force was revealed at Thursday's White House press briefing.

The virus dies quickest in the presence of direct sunlight, and it survives best in indoor conditions, the study found.

Americans should be extra careful to properly disinfect areas that aren't exposed to direct sunlight, particularly within indoor spaces, according to Bryan.

"I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes, isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds," said Bryan.

"And that's with no manipulation. If you rub it, it goes away even faster," he added.

DHS and the White House coronavirus task force will continue to look at how the virus in saliva and how it reacts to other disinfectants.

Although "summer-like conditions" will leads to a decrease in virus transmissions, Bryan said Americans aren't yet in the clear to return back to normal outings.

"It would be irresponsible to say the summer will kill the virus and it's a free for all and people ignore guidance," Bryan said.

"That's not the case."

The DHS findings were no surprised to Trump, who made sure to point out he had made a similar observation at an earlier coronavirus presser.

"I once mentioned that maybe it does go away with light," he said at Thursday's briefing.

"Maybe the fake news didn't like the suggestion that it goes away with light."

Donald Trump made note that he mentioned a similar theory once before but blamed the ''fake news' for not covering it

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
