It is slowly getting out there .... is this Scotty from marketing or just the media pouncing on the latest COVID-19 story ? Interesting that the experts have weighed in (paragraph highlighted) ... Starpharma never claimed 100% or 'completely prevent infection' but whatever makes them happy I guess beating their chest ?
30th March Coronavirus: Nasal spray claims to inactivate Covid-19
A nasal spray that claims to 'inactivate' coronavirus within a minute is to be made available in the UK.
The manufacturers of the product say it is effective against multiple strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as a broad spectrum of other viruses including influenza.
The product, Viraleze, was developed by Australian biopharmaceutical company Starpharma and is registered for sale in the UK from April 21 in pharmacies.
The firm say tests involving 1000 samples found it could "irreversibly and rapidly" inactivate 99.9% of Covid-19 within one minute.
However experts have urged caution saying a 99% (3 log reduction) is not enough to completely prevent infection saying 6 to 8 is required.
Log reduction is used by scientists to express the relative number of living microbes that are eliminated by disinfection.
