Your
hands
up
close
are
anything
but
smooth
With
peaks
and
valleys
folds
and
rifts
There
are
plenty
of
hiding
places
for
a
virus
to
stick
If
you
then
touch
your
face
the
virus
can
infect
you
But
there
are
two
extraordinarily
simple
ways
You can
keep
that
from
happening
Soap
and
water
and
hand
sanitizer
So
which
is
better
?
The
coronavirus
that
causes
COVID-19
Is
one
of
many
viruses
whose
protective
outer
surface
Is
made
of
a
lipid
bilayer
These
lipids
are
pin
shaped
molecules
whose
heads
Are
attracted
to
water
And
tails
are
repulsed
by
it
So
in
water-rich
environments
lipids
naturally
form
a
shell
like
this
With
the
heads
outside
and
the
tails
inside
Their
shared
reaction
to
water
makes
the
lipids
stick
loosely
together—
This
is
called
the
hydrophobic
effect
This
outer
structure
helps
the
molecular
machinery
of
the
virus
Break
through
cellular
membranes
and
hijack
our
cells
But
it
has
thousands
upon
thousands
of
weak
points
Where
the
right
molecules
could
pry
it
apart
And
this
is
where
soap
comes
in
A
single
drop
of
any
brand
of
soap
contains
quadrillions
of
molecules
Called
amphiphiles
which
resemble
biological
lipids
Their
tails
which
are
similarly
repulsed
by
water
Compete
for
space
with
the
lipids
that
make
up
the
virus's
shell
But
they're
just
different
enough
to
break
up
The
regularity
of
the
virus's
membrane
Making
the
whole
thing
come
crashing
down
Those
amphiphiles
then
form
bubbles
of
their
own
around
particles
Including
the
virus's
RNA
and
proteins
Apply
water
and
you'll
wash
that
whole
bubble
away
Hand
sanitizers
work
less
like
a
crowbar
and
more
like
an
earthquake
When
you
surround
a
coronavirus
with
water
The
hydrophobic
effect
gives
the
bonds
within
The
membrane
their
strength
That
same
effect
also
holds
the
big
proteins
That
form
coronavirus's
spikes
in
place
And
in
the
shape
that
enables
them
to
infect
your
cells
If
you
dry
the
virus
out
in
air
it
keeps
its
stability
But
now
surround
it
with
a
high
concentration
of
an
alcohol
Like
the
ethanol
or
isopropanol
found
in
most
hand-sanitizers
This
makes
the
hydrophobic
effect
disappear
And
gives
the
molecules
room
to
move
around
The
overall
effect
is
like
removing
all
of
the
nails
And
mortar
from
a
house
And
then
hitting
it
with
an
earthquake
The
cell's
membrane
collapses
and
those
spike
proteins
crumble
In
either
method
the
actual
process
of
destroying
the
virus
Happens
in
just
a
second
or
two
But
doctors
recommend
at
least
20
seconds
of
hand-washing
Because
of
the
intricate
landscape
that
is
your
hand
Soap
and
sanitizer
need
to
get
everywhere
Including
your
palms
fingertips
The
outsides
of
your
hands
and
between
your
fingers
To
protect
you
properly
And
when
it
comes
to
a
coronavirus
outbreak
Doctors
recommend
washing
your
hands
with
soap
And
water
whenever
possible
Even
though
both
approaches
are
similarly
effective
at
killing
the
virus
Soap
and
water
has
two
benefits
First
it
washes
away
any
dirt
which
could
otherwise
hide
virus
particles
But
more
importantly
It's
simply
easier
to
fully
cover
your
hands
with
soap
and
water
For
20
seconds
Of
course
hand
sanitizer
is
more
convenient
to
use
on
the
go
In
the
absence
of
a
sink
use
the
sanitizer
as
thoroughly
as
possible
And
rub
your
hands
together
until
they're
dry
Unfortunately
there
are
billions
of
people
Who
don't
have
access
to
clean
drinking
water
Which
is
a
huge
problem
at
any
time
but
especially
during
an
outbreak
Researchers
and
aid
groups
are
working
To
provide
solutions
for
these
communities
One
example
is
a
device
that
uses
salt
water
and
a
car
battery
To
make
chlorinated
water
that
kills
harmful
pathogens
And
is
safe
for
hand-washing
So
wherever
possible
soap
and
water
Are
recommended
for
a
coronavirus
But
does
that
mean
it's
best
for
every
viral
outbreak?
Not
necessarily
Many
common
colds
are
caused
by
rhinoviruses
That
have
a
geometric
protein
structure
called
a
capsid
Instead
of
a
lipid
membrane
The
capsid
doesn't
have
nearly
as
many
weak
points
Where
soap
amphiphiles
can
pry
it
apart
So
it
takes
longer
for
soap
to
be
effective
However
some
of
its
surface
proteins
are
still
vulnerable
To
the
destabilizing
effect
of
hand
sanitizer
In
this
and
similar
cases
hand
sanitizer
may
be
more
effective
Especially
if
you
then
wash
your
hands
to
remove
residual
particles
The
best
way
to
know
which
to
use
for
any
given
outbreak
Is
to
do
what's
best
for
all
things
illness-related
Follow
the
advice
of
accredited
medical
professionals
