An Essex inventor working alongside the British Army has created a ‘military grade’ disinfectant spray, tested by LSTM, which kills all coronavirus strains in less than one minute to 99.99% efficacy.

The VIRUSEND spray formula, developed by Michael Pritchard MBE in cojunction iwth innovation experts in the British Army, is proven to kill SARS-CoV-2 in under 60 seconds.

50,000+ bottles of the handheld disinfectant are being deployed to military personnel across the country who are working alongside the NHS at coronavirus testing stations as part of the military’s ongoing support to civil authorities. It is already being used at testing sites in Medway and Preston.

Mr Pritchard worked on perfecting the environmentally friendly antiviral spray in partnership with the British Army, which uses compressed air instead of VOC flammable gasses, is fully recyclable and fully re-useable. The product was developed in conjunction with, and partly funded by, the British Army in addition to a £180,000 Innovate UK grant from the British Government’s specialist team who have been funding projects in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wow. Usually I'm the cynic amongst us but this sounds SO promising that I will be extremely upset to say the very least, if it is an over-hyped tabloid column purposely there to get folk elated, annoyed or just plain and simply, put there to get our hopes up and then ..... B.A.N.G. ..... let it fall down so we are no better/worse off A.G.A.I.N. 🐿🌈.

Not a tabloid, this is from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. I would think it is 'kosher'
