A Toronto-based biotech company is a frontrunner in developing a new kind of COVID-19 protection: antiviral clothing, made to protect against the virus.

We have sanitizer for our hands, wipes for counters and masks for our faces. Is anti-viral clothing the next stage?CEO Giancarlo Beevis first saw the need for anti-viral fabric 10 years ago, when there was an outbreak of norovirus on cruise ships.

“So as this hit, we said, well, why not? We think it [will] work. Let's give it a try and let's find someone who can test COVID-19,” he said. “This represents a more than 1,000-fold reduction in active viral load when compared to untreated fabric,” “Because of all of the nooks and crannies that are on the clothing itself […] There's a lot of dips and valleys where the viral particles like to live.”A fresh set of scrubs is worn every day, but “lab coats tend to stick around in the facility,” Mitchell said.

So is a healthy immune system. Since a virus is biologically dead it's a weak immune system that is the issue. Like wearing a mask that is not an N95. Guess that's why you don't wanna report on any of that. Par for the FakeNews narrative. NoNews is FakeNews

Wow 99.9% Must be a Russian company 🤔

I'd like a pair of anti-viral underwear please! 😃👍😷

Industry Canada gives them an immediate billion dollar tax payer grant cause maybe this time something good will come out of it.

I believe running with a mask is a risk to crushing your lungs.

Bullshit. That is absolutely impossible.

I think I'll maintain my sports gear with good ole soap and water. I've been running in a small group since May and cycling without mask. I certainly wouldn't be competing in an environment that required a mask!

I have some underwear that can do that too.

So why aren't they just making masks and gloves?

Fatty chromosomes surrounding viruses? You need a science editor.

Just make a proper vaccine and we won't have to worry about this.

Sweet claims!!

That's hardly reassuring, considering it covers no more than about 30% of her anyway.

I want anti-viral underwear that I can wear for days on end! 🤔🧻😷

99.9%? So does the worlds population.

As long as you can run away from the virus very fast!!

But it's not absorbed through the skin

Sounds like bullsh-t

Yeah, yeah kill!!!! Kill!!!

Just make the vaccinee properly, and we wont have to wear any clothing lmaoo

And 20 years from now they’ll be discussing how we were all poisoning ourselves with germ killing clothing, and that we created new superbugs by drowning ourselves in sanitizer.

After a few days the virus dies 100% of the time every time.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They should make an anti-stupidity helmet for your writers.

Is it a hazmat suit? If not, they can just fuq off. Bullshit fakenews Chewbaccafan djbeefthief

So does hydroxychloroquine...and more!

Russia registers virus vaccine, Putin's daughter given itRussian President Vladimir Putin says that a coronavirus vaccine developed in the country has been registered for use and one of his daughters has already been inoculated. Great news.. bullshit 😂😂 Seriously? Don't we think this is just Putin's attempt to keep his asset in the White House? So this 'vaccine' will be relentlessly promoted by Drumpf but we won't see any real testing and the distribution will be 'complicated' and he'll blame it on Democrats, blah blah blah
