According to the CDC, chlorine kills the virus. But droplets from an infected individual, who may be asymptomatic, can remain suspended in the air for hours.
The bigger question is why we are reopening the country without a plan for widespread testing, contact tracing, and isolation of positives. Presently only 5% of the population has been infected. Herd immunity will not occur until 70% have been. This is not the flu.
My interpretation? Because we have placed the health of the economy before the health of the people.
Free testing locations have opened up in our county but they are only for first responders and health care workers at this time.
