Disinfect the streets

Ive seen other countries are disinfecting streets to combat the spread of this virus. Why is this not happening here?

Why the contribution is important

Killing the virus in the streets will help prevent us brining it into our homes when lockdown is lifted

    However, the disinfectant May harm animals and birds.

    Probably very limited benefit for most areas. May have some positive effect in areas like train stations and underground.

    I think disinfectant may be harmful to animals and birds and we don't know what it will do to humans either! In healthy people, our immune systems are used to handling bacteria and virus's all the time so I don't think this is sensible.

    I don't think there is any actual evidence that the virus could survive on the streets. We should not do something purely on the basis others do it.

    I suspect that disinfection of streets is carried out in some countries simply to placate the populations that "something is being done". However surely the government can obtain an expect opinion on this proposal. It may be that the experts would advise washing down station concourses and other enclosed spaces such as shopping malls which do not benefit from the "disinfecting" effect of sunshine.

    Why is this not happening. I don't understand it .surely places like trains and busses as well as all built up areas should be done .
