Yes?
1) Alcohol doesn't kill 2019-nCoV.
2) From DeltaNet: "Delta sources its own high-grade disinfectant, which is rated to combat many communicable diseases."
2a) "combat" = fuzzy legal term that doesn't really mean anything
2b) "many communicable diseases" = but not necessarily the one you are worried about

I see articles about alcohol based hand sanitizer and the fact that it evaporates quickly so it may not be effective. I could not find anything about alcohol not actually killing it if it comes in contact?

I read it somewhere that only bleach and hydrogen peroxide are effective.
