So, I tried reading quite a bit of the comments, and the whole article before commenting.
I might have misunderstood the wording:
"4C Air confirmed all the proposed treatments have killed corona viruses. Labs have no way to test COVID-19 directly and as an accepted protocol, E. Coli is used for testing."
I understood this as: There has been no testing using corona viruses (because there's no way to do so currently?), but instead they're benchmarking with E. coli.(because this has some sort of similar attributes)
But what it's saying is(?): Testing has been done on E.coli AND corona viruses, but there's no standardized protocol for corona viruses, which is why they're focusing on the E.coli aspect.
Please do not assume malintent, even though I know these are stressful times, and we'd do well to let important information surface to the general population, I think a part of that is to understand the limitations of that information as well.
