Various analyses have shown what common-sense reflection has no

germicidal condition, you're all good.

Aside, when Carl Linnaeus first grouped bacteria and viruses, he put
them under the taxonomic heading "Chaos".

Of course that great scare tactic would have a great deal of trouble
rectifying the huge disparity between it's claim and the real world
experience of people who have used knife blocks for... well, very long
periods of time.
