Title: Covid 19 Virus and disposable gloves?
Post by: jazzyman on 17/03/2020 18:03:31

This idea may seem stupid.
Is it possible to manufacture disposable gloves impregnated with some kind of disinfectant to ward off the Covid 19 virus?

It would be possible but, why would you need both?
If the gloves do their job, they don't need a virucide.
If the virucide does its job, you don't need the gloves.
