13. I have no reason to doubt the stuff from the Dollar Store.

I have no evidence that Dawn is better with breaking down the protein capsule around the virus other than Dawn is known to be good with causing oil and fat to separate and break down. I have found Dawn to be effective in removing oil from the driveway, and pre-treating fatty stains (like from meat) on clothes. We've all seen the commercials showing Dawn being use to clean animals coated in oil from spills. I think separating and breaking down oil and fats is kinda Dawn's thing.

We're southerners and pretty much live out of a skillet. We always keep Dawn in the house. And no, we don't own stock in P&G.

Everything I've read says the trick is to wash your hands compulsively and thoroughly. Again, everything I've read seems to say the important thing is to use soap or detergent and hot water. I've seen nothing to suggest that soap is better than detergent or vice versa - much less that one detergent or soap is better than another.

As I said, my theory is unsupported by any evidence of which I am aware. However, it makes sense to me. So, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that's the plan I'm working.

Stay safe, stay home, stay well.
