Saw this earlier on tv.

They recommend cleaning your electronics at least once a day with an alcohol wipe.

I don't believe this is true.

A. Viruses aren't "alive"

B. Previous surface tests of other similar enveloped viruses show they're infectious usually at most 5 days and usually 24-48 hours depending on surface

Submerge your phone in a 10% bleach/water solution.

I bought 1000 packs as soon as the news broke that Corona was in the US.

I'll sell you one for $500. I'm willing to negotiate if your wife is hot.

Then burn it at at least 2500° F for 6 hours and it should be 100% corona virus free.

I don’t believe I’ve ever cleaned my phone before.

I’ll lick my screen and use my shirt to get the smudges off

Like I said a few days ago... The best way to sterilize your cell phone is to put it in the microwave for a quick 90 second nuke.

Quick tip for disinfecting iPhones: pop in the microwave for 10 seconds. Kills all the viruses but it’s not a long enough time to hurt the phone.

Disclaimer not sure it works on Android phones.
