Another representative of the simple health tips against the new coronavirus that is not really helpful.
It is said that you simply need to drink lots of warm water mixed with salt or vinegar to avoid infection.

“Corona virus, before reaching the lungs, the virus stays in the throat for 4 days, this is the time when the person starts coughing and pain in the throat begins.
If you take a lot of water and make gargarejo with warm water, salt or vinegar, the virus will be eliminated. Spread this information because you can save someone with this information.”

That’s not how virus infections work!
The idea is a bit funny: So the viruses arrive at the mucous membrane in the throat, take a four-day break there and then travel on to the lungs?
But viruses don't make themselves that comfortable, because their first goal is to multiply! To do this, they attach themselves to cells as quickly as possible and “reprogram” them so that more viruses are produced.
In order not to get tangled up in extensive, scientific explanations, let's just let a scene from the series speak for us, which many readers probably remember from childhood: " Once upon a time... Life " (starting at 10:33 p.m.)!
In contrast to the series, the immune system does not yet know the SARS-CoV-2 virus, so it cannot defend itself at all!
Drinking lots of water is still good
Let's not get it wrong: it's definitely good for the body to drink enough fluids! And drinking water could actually help – if you drink continuously!

Conclusion
You can’t just “flush away” viruses and you can’t deactivate them with vinegar or salt water. At most, the advice you give people is to avoid dehydration, but this does not help against SARS-CoV-2.
