Hello, I've been doing some research today, is it possible that Clorhexidine has some efficacy against the Coronavirus?

I've found this study but I'm not educated enough to interpret it correctly, however there was some mention that it might be at leasy moderately effective against influenza viruses.

> why would this matter?

Because it's easily available over the counter as a breath spray, we know that the virus breeds in the upper respiratory tract, including the throat.

This means; it may prevent spreaders by temporarily disinfecting saliva droplets at least temporarily. Reducing viral loads.

And potentially, may reduce some of the strain on the immune system by attacking the virus in the throat and to a lesser extent, upper airways, allowing the body to focus available immune response on the lungs.

Further research definitely needed but if we can find some good evidence and spread it in a digestible way this might significantly help flatten the curve.
