I'm curious to see what happens when too many people start losing everything they have worked for and collectively say we will take our chances and get back to work......man this is a tough mess.

Then they go to jail and become quarantined anyway.

I'm not sure I understand. Garlic is a *potent* antiviral when properly activated.

A potent in vitro anti-viral. There's very little research (everything I've seen points back to one study involving slightly over 100 people and it involved preventing the common cold) that indicates it's effectiveness as an anti-viral when administered orally.

As for copper, yeah it's well known that copper has antimicrobial properties. That means microbes don't survive well on a copper surface. Wearing a copper bracelet is going to accomplish absolutely nothing on that front.

If your  are regularly touching the copper with your hands your are going to minimize self-contamination via hand to face contact.

Bullshit. The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can survive up to 4 hours on a copper surface so how in the hell is regularly touching copper going to minimize anything?

Hint: It won't.

Mercury was a cure all in the middle ages too.

I don't think there has been conclusive results on how long it can survive on copper -  not that I've seen.

Touching copper is going to do absolutely nothing except infect that copper for up to four hours.
