Coronavirus and the CDC

I am not an alarmist. I am young enough that a 6% death rate for any disease does not bother me. I personally feel HIV is much more disturbing (especially since although you see "avoid public places" with coronavirus, but you do not see "avoid sexual contact and injected illegal drugs" with HIV).

However, something on the CDC webpage bothers me--they state bleach kills coronavirus and then give you a way to make a very dilute solution. The problem is that scientists have shown the bleach solution must contain at least 1% bleach in order to kill coronavirus. The CDC is only having you make a 0.1% solution. 1 cup  bleach to 5 cups water is what the recommendation should be.
