Daily use of cool mint mouthwash also is shown to help (studies from a number of countries show this) it helps kill the virus in your throat and nasal passages where it tends to accumulate.

Wear a face covering to protect others and yourself (less protection for the wearer) and if you want to protect yourself too also a plastic face shield.

Don’t stay in close contact with others for prolonged periods outside you usual circle.

Eat healthily.

Get exercise and lose weight.

Some of this you will find is still official UK policy some of it should be me thinks.

Most importantly be nice and be respectful - if someone exercises their own free will accept it as such even if you disagree.

Government in England doesn’t really say much anymore - too hard and no staying power?
"Daily use of coolmint mouthwash is SHOWN to help ......blah blah"...

Another piece of psuedo-science and a statement not based on evidence, simply assertion.....

Just one of many articles publicly available and quoting representatives of the mouthwash manufacturers that discount mouthwash as. Covid control mechanism.

Not hard to find this and others, but wouldn't support your assertions would they?
