while aussie contribution to a covid 19 vaccine was stalled when it was revealed our version gave a positive to HIV, we are ever innovative and have produced a surface spray that kills covid 19
https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/australia/australia-develops-worlds-first-surface-disinfectant-to-kill-covid19-in-90-seconds/news-story/4e3c6a6075ce0eeffd154d6c9f55a4fd
so life can return to normal and I see all incoming international flights sprayed before the a passengers get out of their seats meaning hotel quarantine will become unnecessary

It is not the first disinfectant that works. There are, I think, many of those. It is simply the first to work in a 90 second frame of time. Still a good accomplishment, but not a world changer.
"A world-first surface spray that kills coronavirus within 90 seconds"
"While other surface disinfectants take as long as ten minutes to kill the coronavirus (https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus)..."

yes but 90 seconds means We don't have to worry any more as as I said international passengers can be disinfected before leaving the plane. anyone who has been to australia knows we do this anyway for different reasons

Would 60 seconds be even better, or maybe thirty seconds?
ViroCLEAR joins a number of other products already on the Australian market – some of which are non-alcohol based and have a low toxicity, low irritant profile.
"Among them is Actichem Kwiksan (https://actichem.com.au/product/kwiksan-alcohol-based-hospital-grade-disinfectant/), a hospital-grade disinfectant proven to kill COVID-19 in 60 seconds; the Medi1 (https://www.bracton.com/chemicals/medi1-covid-19-disinfectant/)surface disinfectant, sold at Bunnings and Mitre 10 and used on NSW public transport for months; and Clinell Universal Wipes (https://gamahealthcare.com/products/universal-range), which have proven to be effective against the virus in just 30 seconds."

I'm holding out for instant but leaving the ridiculous for a moment, I know that is hard for you JL, however, this is an important breakthrough and shows how we think out of the box, there is more than one approach to beating viruses
why do you always want to prove the negative? you know if I didn't know better I would think you are Australian, we have a habit of cutting the tall poppies down

Oh stop blowing wind. Your country has developed an important product, but it is hardly unique. Your own article clearly shows that.
"Prove the negative"???
I do like your use of "bar" in, "bar the shouting". Clever.

Yes the world is focused on viruses at the moment as it has been from time to time in the last two decades and there are many contributions, what was yours again; hydro something or other?

A working vaccine. Three, in fact. And they don't give a positive to HIV.

Yes that was unfortunate otherwise it might have been the first
