As America locked down during the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic, we were contacted by a few contractors and government agencies inquiring about the efficacy of NORGANIX against the COVID-19 virus. We are pleased to report that NORGANIX is engaged in several efforts to combat this deadly microbe.
We were asked: “Does NORGANIX kill the Coronavirus?” At first, we did not know how to answer to that question. For starters, this specific pathogen is so new that nobody has had an opportunity to conduct laboratory research.
Then there is this: viruses are NOT living things--so how can something that is not alive be killed? Technically speaking, it cannot.
Viruses are best described as “encapsulated strands of DNA and RNA.” In truth, they are miniscule packages of creepy half-live, genetic information--not able to reproduce on their own, but capable of replicating when they bond with a cell of a living creature. Through “bonding” they become “activated” such that the information they hold can “over-ride” the genetic information in the living cell disrupting the normal healthy cell processes in the host organism.
So, viruses cannot be killed; however, there are ways to impede the malevolent activity of viruses. They can be disabled. How so? Viruses are negatively impacted by ultra-violet irradiation, heat, dryness, electricity, colloidal silver and some chemicals. Those external agents do not actually kill the virus, but they prevent it from running its course by destroying the protein encasement that houses the rogue genetic information. Metaphorically, a “disabled” virus is much the same as a “dead” bacterium, as it can no longer do its dirty work.
The other important matter with viruses is that they require a host organism to replicate. When an inactive virus “bonds” with a host organism such as a human being or an animal, the replication process can be activated, much to the detriment of the host. Public lock-downs can help mitigate the opportunities that viruses have to meet up with human hosts. But, unfortunately, it is not possible to quarantine all animals. Worse yet, viruses can “bond” with bacteria and other micro-organisms, which makes it virtually impossible to eliminate the viral pandemic solely by preventing people from “hosting” viruses. No amount of quarantining of humans will totally solve the problem.
So, how does NORGANIX play a role here? NORGANIX kills the bacteria that viruses use for replicative bonding purposes. In other words, kill the bacteria, disrupt the viral replication process.
If your home, business, school or healthcare institution has been a venue of high COVID-19 activity, the viruses which float through the air ultimately land on the floor. If they land on concrete, they are small enough to find their way into the capillaries. And if they do that, they might soon find plenty of bacteria to suit their replication needs.
But concrete that has been sealed with NORGANIX will not serve as a venue for bacteria that might otherwise resurface only to provide a useful vehicle for sustaining the viral catastrophe.
NORGANIX is pursuing opportunities with technology firms to develop a solution to Coronavirus. Hopefully, our product will play an important role in managing its spread.
