Johns Hopkins: COVID Mortality Analyses

No, and No. In fact, you'd be better off carrying around a bottle of bleach with you and putting it on a napkin to wipe your hands down, because bleach kills everything. A lot less toxic than methanol.

Hydrogen Peroxide soaked paper towels in zip lock bags are much more less toxic and still sanitizes the surface of the hands / skin.

It's what I learned in the military when we had a class in biological warfare.

Never tried the bleach...I'll just stick with what I learned in school for quick solutions because walking around with bleach is a little more risky than walking around with hydrogen peroxide...

Hydrogen Peroxide stinks less too and has other useful applications (e.g. sterilization of surgical equipment, treatment of sterilizing wounds in combat although it causes more scaring).

have you ever read the inscription on the package of masks? Look closer and you will see something like 'the mask does not protect from viruses, for virus protection use medical respirator'

That, of course, is not completely true. By wearing a mask, you are not filtering out the virus itself, you are filtering aerosol particles created by breathing/coughing/sneezing which contain the virus. While you are still going to be exposed, that reduces the viral load enough to significantly lower the transmission rates. Unlike a hazmat suit, it's not a 100% protection, but it will help a lot if people wore masks (even regular cloth ones).

Well it's a fact that fermented alcoholic drinks have methanol in small quantities. This isn't really a debate, you can look it up.

Bleach is toxic in humans as well. Highly problematic for the respiratory system and carcinogenic.

Hydrogen peroxide is applied to cuts and abrasions to disinfect them. Bleach, not so much.

I might be wrong but isn't highly diluted methanol safe to use as a sanitizer? I mean there's methanol in all alcoholic drinks, in small amounts of course.

Methanol isn't safe. There's plenty of ethanol in alcoholic drinks which also kills virus. Methanol though? Dunno of many wood alcohols safe for consumption. Maybe there's trace amounts depending on plant matter used.

I totally agree. I prefer to drink scotch than bleach or peroxide to disinfect.

I am still hearing about elderly deaths being tagged as “COVID” when there hasn’t been an autopsy done here in the US.

High School friend of mine had his Mom pass last month. She had been suffering from Alzheimer’s for years now. When he found out through the funeral home that the County had identified her death as COVID he threatened to sue them.

Apparently States and Counties are getting federal funds for COVID deaths.

You don't die of Alzheimer’s as such, it probably was Covid if she had the symptoms of it. Flu and stroke, heart disease, maybe cancer the typical. If she did not he has an argument.
