7. Drinking hot tea.
There are two things behind this, neither of which is based on good science. The first is that you should drink anything hot to raise your core temperature, which will kill the virus. The virus dies at 60 degrees Celsius; raising your core temperature to 60 degrees Celsius will kill you long before it kills coronavirus. The second is that tea will kill the virus. In fact, in vitro experiments show that tea, which is rich in polyphenols, will deactivate the virus. Drinking tea, however, won’t reach the problem-causing virus.
