    I had a severe sinus infection from Nov 2019 through Jan 2020, and I had to go to a specialist to get it cleared up with a 3rd round of antibiotics.
    According that doctor, it's actually the rinsing action that gets rid of the virus down the sink. The soap doesn't actually kill the virus (any kind), it just lifts it off the skin so it can be rinsed away.
    It's for that reason that hand sanitizer's are a bit of a joke... you're just smearing the bad stuff around...yes, it likely kills a decent amount of bacteria, but certainly not everything, and maybe not the really bad stuff.
    So... wash your hands with soap and water, and avoid touching anywhere on your face if you can't wash right away, and minimizing touching surfaces that are exposed to multiple people.
