Covid-19

While doctors, nurses, and medical people have been heroes fighting Covid-19, I am disappointed that I have not seen anything on use of soap to clean infected areas, like nose an mouth.
While this is not effective to completely wipe out the disease, it can help. Dilute liquid soap will clear infected mucus from eyes and nose. (Eyes must be flushed immediately.) If the soap residue is not completely flushed, it may protect the nose temporarily. There has been no statement I have seen on the physical effect of soap on the individual viri. I have not heard anything about this from anywhere.
