Well, sure. I think washing is a more pleasant experience than boiling, but you wouldn't be wrong.
Joe Rogan had a podcast recently with one these experts, and they talked about the potential benefits of saunas. From what I recall the temperature of saunas was definitely high enough to cause deactivation of the virus, but it wouldn't heal you because the air you breath in cools down before reaching the lungs, which is where the virus causes pneumonia etc.
So heat disinfects, but it doesn't heal.

I was reading labels in the grocery store today and this ... lady ... came up and grabbed a can next to the item I was looking at. Then she said "It's polite to keep a six foot distance these days." I smiled and said "If you're on fire you'll find that gap, I bet."

In my case she'd get a set of blue steel irises over the tops of my specs while I asked, "Then why aren't you doing it!?"
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

She screamed "manipulator". I've met them before. They bounce.

The chief difference is that OLB got excoriated as a bigot. Why is it that when Pakistanis are called out for idiotic behaviour it’s bigotry, but when Californians are called out for EXACTLY the same behaviour, it just leads to a discussion of beach safety?

Sure, but also the media heavily criticizes those beachgoers, calling them stupid ( example), while things like religious stupidity are left to atheist groups to call out for.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Do you not see how that is just as wrong but on the extreme other end? I do
PC is a left concept through guilt to force society to self regulate each other. I'm not buying into it.
I was a good person before all this PC shit and I'm still a good person now. Nothing has changed. Only political perception via political manipulation.
No PC is a basic concept which goes "don't be a fucking arsehole onto others". If you cannot show basic decency when discussing issues with somebody who disagrees with you, you shouldn't really be discussing the matter.
Now I'll make one caveat to the above, if the other party is being an ignorant bastún, then feel free to unleash your inner fucker. Unlike with the right wing version, proper PC works both ways.

I'll be fine, I'm sticking to metric. The virus will never mutate to metric.

Irrelevant. According to you, your god will protect you.
Not happening. Thus you take precautions, because at some level you know your "god" is not protecting you in any way.
Those of us with half a brain are avoiding personal contact. You are not.
Or if you are, you do not believe in your own god.
