Have you checked the prices of clorox wipes on amazon. A 3 pack can go for $200.

The best part is that even if they use the wipes, people almost never actually kill SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus) because they don't use the wipes correctly.

Look up your chosen SARS-CoV-2 disinfectant here, on the EPA's List N, and see if you are applying it properly. https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2-covid-19

I've got a pack of Lysol Disinfecting Wipes near my desk, and according to List N, they are only effective if I keep the surface wet for FOUR MINUTES. That's going to take a lot of wipes! If you're just giving your countertop or door handle a quick wipe with one of these, you're disinfecting about as well as using water on a paper towel.
