IMO..
Time is about right now for the new Gaffer to make a mark.
Light reading for anyone interested :)

4. Conclusion
A variety of respiratory pathogenic agents such as influenza, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and HCoV have been exposed to a variety of copper forms (copper alloy dry surface, sodium copper, ionic copper oxide, copper iodide, Cu2+, and lay copper) in several cultivating media (MDCK, metal, textile, aqueous solution, dry surfaces), having similar results and arriving at the same conclusion: copper is capable to inhibit, inactivate, reduce, and irreversibly destroy coronavirus, influenza virus, and other pathogenic agents in a matter of minutes. A recent study has evaluated and compared SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 stability and decay rates in aerosols, copper (metallic plate at 99% of copper), cardboard, stainless steel, and plastic. Despite significant reduction on infectivity of SARS-CoV 1 and SARS-CoV 2 after 3 h in aerosols, 72 h on plastic, and 48 h on stainless steel, the virus remained infectious. On the other hand, after exposition on copper, no viable virus was observed after 8 h and after 4 h for SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2, respectively (van Doremalen et al., 2020). Perhaps, these data suggest a higher effect of copper on SARS-CoV-2. Based on the reviewed literature, copper nanoparticles together with efficient usage of oxygen appears to be the most effective formulation against coronaviruses.
