Will not be effective....

COVID 19 is respiratory not just oral . Mouthwash will only disinfect where the mouthwash makes contact. The virus generally sits in the airway and lungs of the host. Thus, the coughing thing it produces as a symptom. Nice idea, but it would barely be effective. One cough minutes later and the mouth is "restocked" with the virus. And as a secondary note... Has anyone ever tried to make a kid under the age of ten rinse their mouth with mouthwash? They don't like it! I can't imagine how many kids would refuse or immediately spit it out. Good try, but it's a bust.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
