Taiwan is using HCOl to beat the Coronavirus - and their coronavirus numbers are LOW!



Taiwan learned a lot about how to contain the coronavirus, from their past experience with SARS.

In this video below, you'll see that Taiwan's numbers of people with the virus are very low, compared to China's numbers (per capita).

I kneow Taiwan is doing many things to combat the spread of the virus, but one of the things that seems to be working well, is, they are using hypochlorous acid to disinfect public and private venues, on a large scale.

You can see more about how Taiwan is using hypochlorous acid, here: https://en.rti.org.tw/news/view/id/2002701

This is an article in the Taipei times, where hypochlorous acid is mentioned.

Here are some excerpts from the article:

"Keeping living spaces clean and sanitary is an important part of preventing the spread of COVID-19 alongside diligent hand washing and using sanitizer, Taichung Veterans General Hospital physician Chen Po-yan (陳伯彥) said on Monday."


"...because bleach and other chlorine solutions contain hypochlorous acid — which destroys protein structures — they can inhibit the virus’ activity, Chen Hung-yu said."
