Suggestion to scientists

It has been a broadcasted fact that a hand sanitizer which has an alcohol content of about 78%+ has the capacity to destroy the COVID-19 virus commonly called Coronavirus as soon it gets in contact with it

It is also known that the virus enters the body into the lungs of a human through openings such as mouth, nose, eyes, ears and the sexual organs of which the easiest and most effective ways for the virus to achieve its agenda are through the first four, and it is the hand which does the easiest carriage to these openings on the body through a touch/contact between the infested hand and these parts.

It is for this reason that as part of the precautionary measures issued by world to help curb the spread of the Coronavirus, humans have been advised to sanitize their hands in order to help destroy any of the virus and its destructive effectiveness, the hands get in contact with.

If sanitizing the hands is so important to help fight and reduce the spread of the virus despite the hand only being a carrier and not necessarily being the main conduit through which the virus enters the body into the lungs, then why not an innovation which can be put around and inside these opening parts of the body so that any of the virus which enters any of these parts can be destroyed and thus prevent its passage into the body.

As a result, as scientists work around to find a cure, I will recommend these:

Creation of body and face sanitizers; just normal face and body cream with all the basic ingredients of a hand sanitizer which has a protective strength of at least 6 hours so that it can protect the entire body and face from the virus.

Creation of a mouth sanitizer; just a normal mouth wash with the basic ingredients of a hand sanitizer which isn’t poisonous and has a protective strength of at least 3-6 hours so that any of the virus which enters mouth would be rendered ineffective.

Creation of body and cloth spray sanitizer; just a normal spray with the basic ingredients of a hand sanitizer and has a protective strength of at least 6 hours so that any of the virus which comes in contact with clothes or body would be destroyed.

Creation of room and open space spray sanitizer; just a normal spray with the basic ingredients of a hand sanitizer and has a protective strength of at least 6 hours so that any of the virus roaming in the air can be made ineffective

Creation of ear cream, and nose cream or inhaler sanitizer; just an ear cream and nose cream or inhaler with all the basic ingredients of a hand sanitizers which has a protective strength of at least 6 hours so that it can protect the ears and nose from any of the viruses which mistakenly enters them.

Creation of an eye drop sanitizer; just a normal eye drop with all the basic ingredients of hand sanitizers which has a protective strength of at least 6 hours so that it can protect the eye from any of the viruses which mistakenly enters the eye.

Creation of tissue or wipe sanitizer; just a normal tissue or wipe with the basic ingredients of a hand sanitizer and has a protective strength of at least 6 hours so that it can be used to clean and wipe door handles, furniture, vehicles, electronics and others so that any of the virus which comes into contact with any of these would be rendered ineffective to prevent transmission to the hand, body or clothes.

Others

Moreover, humans should be reminded that a healthier immune system has a greater chance of survival in this pandemic so all should as much as possible keep their immune systems stronger by consuming more immune system boosting ingredients like bitter cola, dates, pawpaw leaves, lemon, dandelion, nim tree, lemon grass, and others, and also reduce the intake of any that can weaken the immune system such as alcohol, smoking, fatty food intake and others

Moreover, traditional medicine has always been known to perform miracles in areas where contemporary medicine has been found fumbling so I will recommend the motivation of traditional medicine practitioners to help find a cure for the world.

Hhhmm, May God be praised always
