The important one for now.

It doesn't work on foot and mouth disease because it's not foot and mouth sanitizer
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Plain soap works great, and don't discount the mechanical value of just getting your hands slippery enough that the bad stuff slides off.

I listend to a (German) podcast with the virologist who designed the test for Covid-19 and he said: just use soap and hot water. Sanitizer ¹
forelle
is something you should only use when using soap is impractical (e.g. you are a receptionist, or you have no time to wash hands constantly)
phonoodle415
So it works on hella sht
CatWheezle
Soap often does a better job, breaking down the virus as well as washing it off you.
MaladaptedMedic
Shit, the skin lubrication soap does makes it the best for all microbes. Unless you have bleach handy, but you don't want that on your skin
CatWheezle
Well... I guess technically, an hour in an incinerator is BEST best for cleanliness. But yeah, soap's a surprisingly good compromise.
MaladaptedMedic
In terms of lowest effort:efficacy, soap+hot water just can't be beat

*eats hand sanitizer*

It takes a lot more than some hand sanitizer to get rid of Cryptosporidium-137
madbydesign
I wonder how many of those originated from people not washing their hands.
blueishskies
We're only making them stronger
tiberiuswhythecrapcantweuseunderscoresxxvii
While antibiotic overuse is definitely an issue, I hear that there's little chance of alcohol based sanitizers losing their effectiveness.
StevenFarmer
Toilet paper. Got it.
Ghostoftown
So alcohol is the hero

WHERE IS CORONA

circegirl
Doesn't work against Candida
faultysage
Dammit how do I protect myself from foot and mouth disease?
LetThePurplePhoenixDie
There are antidisinfectants that work for it, lot out for something that kills Coxsackie viruses
ImNotTaylorSwift
Stay away from feet and mouths.
faultysage
I mean the mouths won't be a problem but I'm going to be having a hell of a time staying away from feet.
Purkitten
Just wash before
SalmySwims
As long as you don't end up sticking your foot in your mouth, you should be fine
Taxicat
Open mouth, insert foot, chew vigorously, and swallow.
quartershadow
I am assuming they mean hand foot and mouth disease, which affects humans,not foot and mouth disease which affects cattle
OverMyDadBody
Not entirely true, as it depends on the contents of teh sanitizer. Many of these have a combined germicide in them.
magundi
It has NOT been proven positive against COVID-19. It has been proven against similar viruses.

If hand sanitizer doesn’t kill Norovirus why do Cruise ships have everywhere?? My whole life is a lie.
Heisheaven
There are special sanitizers that work for noro, like sterillium med, dunno if they use them on the ships though
comacomacomacomachameleon
Norovirus survives alcohol. CDC says use bleach. https://www.cdc.gov/norovirus/about/prevention.html
pandro
"Hand sanitizers aren’t as effective as washing hands with soap and water at removing norovirus particles." soap for hands. bleach surfaces.
cazkey
Now tell everyone how much sanitizer it takes. Not the 1 pump/squeeze people normally do.
TaurusI76
B...but... a virus isn't a microorganism!
PillowFortPolice
I have a sanitation certification for fine dining, one thing I did not know until I took the class: viruses dont die at cooking temps.
PineappleEmailer
By don't die, do you mean "will still be able to infect"?
Taxicat
But most bacteria do, correct?
stickywhiskers
Yep
Taxicat
Okay, good to know.
FuckGlitter
Pretty sure it doesnt work against Ebola...
Drewscifer
Cryptosporidium 137! From destroy all humans!

C. Dif you have to use bleach
JinxYouOweMeASoda
Soap and water work just fine
rhabdomylolysis
Have to use bleach to kill those endospores cdiff forms.
Rumpocalypse
For your hands, not for the room.
CosmicSurfingInstructor
Nah. Not really. I’ve had C. Diff twice. Both times in isolation ICU. 1st time not my fault. 2nd time was faith in soap and water. Bleach it
Sugarbritches21
Except equipment. You must sanitize equipment with bleach wipes
ThisIsTheBestUsernameICouldComeUpWith
Work in a nursing home, tried to tell this to management (who has a nursing license). She didn't believe me. I've never wanted to quit more.
Sugarbritches21
Then you should really report that to OSHA and joint commission
MaladaptedMedic
Correct. Work EMS and the only approved sanitizer for our equipment is bleach
Sugarbritches21
I love the smell anyway
MaladaptedMedic
I won't admit this to anyone I know, but same... I also love how the orange top sani cloths have a totally different texture
dford145
So if I get HIV all I have to do is drink hand sanitizer and I’ll be cured?
PineappleEmailer
You have to get it in your blood and lymph system
Joblessgymshorts
For everything else there's mastercard
copingcabana
Go contacless
warmNchewey
Except at Costco.
ComputerGeeksAreSexySomtimes
It’s the opposite in Canada. They only Accept MasterCard.
mmontour
Canadian Costco stores take Mastercard exclusively. It used to be American Express but they switched a few years ago.

If only we had vaccines for some of the viruses that hand sanitizer doesn't work on...
IbecomeaSchnitzelplease
The Polio virus is almost extinct due to imunisation.
curmudgeon91
I wish there was one for Cdiff. I've had it more than once because immune issues and it sucks ass! But you're right. A few do.
curmudgeon91
Wash your hands often, be safe!
onegirlhere
No vaccine fot HFM but it's not the end of the world if your kid gets it
hammersquirrel
I'll stick to my iron lung
wheelow
I've had hand foot and mouth before. As an adult it is god damn awful.
Shitheid
I don’t think there’s a norovirus vaccine but I’d love to be proven wrong
TrueNorthernLights
Or c.diff
JustABookworm
I honestly read norovirus as nonovirus- for your comment and for the main post. I thought that was a joke, oops...
Lowflyingbus
Might as well be the nonovirus, went through my household. Both ends. Same time. We all cried.
DrDoucheBag
There are some in clinical trials atm. https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/vaxart-announces-initiation-of-bivalent-norovirus-vaccine-p

Apparently that link doesn't work but you can check yourself lol

There used to be one but some people died from it so they're retooling it

See the people who downvote this don't appreciate that this dude is obviously joking
ILoveCreamPies
We can only hope. I took it that way too but it’s hard to tell sometimes.
CoBr2
Unfortunately he didn't put a /s which means they're not necessarily wrong to be unsure, but I agree, he's prbly joking.
ThePiedPiperofRuination
Sadly, there are many people who believe that vaccines cause autism. Dude should've put "/s" to make the joke more obvious.
jmeyers1983
Putting /s after your joke is like writing lol
