[FRIAM] End most covid transmission?

[Prof David West]

Nick,

Copper kills virus on contact. There are masks sold with copper fibers woven into them and they are cited as effective by CDC. There are also gloves with copper fibers woven in, but they are not being touted because almost all attention is on droplet transmission, not surface.

Is it not possible to design gloves (and perhaps masks) with those substances embedded? How about cloth gloves dunked in vinegar and hung out to dry before wearing? Is vinegar still acid when it’s dry?
