Here, I've attached a research paper regarding the activity of acetic acid derivates as antiviral agents in respective to miscellaneous viruses including the family corona virus. Off course they haven't used the current SARS COV2 strain here. The prepared compounds (derivatives) lacks the antiviral activity in terms of the inadequate concentration gradient to invade virus. I hope this will give you a perspective regarding it.
Dear all, even if it is so in-vitro, how about in-vivo. First, if it is introduced into the body it helps more the activity of viruses since acid medium is ideal for that. Second, to be evaluated and authorized this will take years, assuming it presents no harmfull to the human body.
Drugs that are in use such hydroxychloroquine are already used for other deseases, known side effects, known permissible doses, and so on. My Regards
Acetic acid has antimicrobial properties, but when it comes to this virus, there’s also no established concentration. There was a study a few years ago that looked at the ability of diluted malt vinegar to inactivate H1N1 influenza virus. They showed that 10 per cent and 50 per cent solutions of this could inactivate the virus. However, there is no clear data for coronaviruses or a more broad range of viruses.
There is no evidence that acetic acid is effective against the virus. According to health authorities, acetic acid is a good antibacterial, which has the advantage of being mild and non-toxic. But on the other hand, no study has ever proved that it is effective against viruses, including against enveloped viruses like the coronavirus which are however the most fragile. On this subject, the "journal of hospital infection" published a list of all the products which can kill the coronavirus. It contains disinfectants based on sodium hypochlorite or chlorine, solvents, 75% ethanol and peracetic acid.
Scientists are to track the spread of the coronavirus in the world by using clues in its genetic code. Analysing samples collected from patients will also reveal whether the virus is mutating into new strains. Until now, there isn't a sufficient and satisfactory answer of your question!!!
In some countries they use chloroquine to kill the virus.
Iraj Kohsari Though there is no scientific evidence regarding this hypothesis but as ACETIC ACID is an powerful acid so I think it can kill coronavirus.
