I guess am really confused about this salt and hot water stuff, I would like to knw if dettol can be an effective antiseptic for ebola virus, instead of bathing hot water and salt every morning, I need answers please.

Left to me, anyone who leaves his/her house in the morning should wear a face mask and hand gloves, all citizens should avoid body contact when outside. If you must buy or sell use hand gloves to handle the items. Esp super markets where people tend to touch things before buying. All customers entering the supermarket should be made to wear these gloves and face masks to avoid dropping this virus on items on display. Wash bottles and cans you bring home as soon as you get home.
Reduce the rate at which you go to public places.
Wipe face with had sanitizers spread on wet wipes after going to public places. . Anti bacterial may not be effective against this virus so buy hand sanitizer that is also anti Virus.
As soon as you get home, head straight to the bathroom, remove your clothes and take a bath. If you like use salt if you like use bleach if you like use detol or even acid, bottom line is, bathe! Keep shoes outside the home. Arrange bathroom slippers at the spot to use in the home so as soon as you get to your gate/door you remove the outing shoes and Wear the house shoes.
Avoid meeting too many people. if this Mr sawyer was in naija earlier before his symptoms became bad, he would have managed to take his sick self to that meeting and God knows how many hands he would have given handshakes before he would be too weak to attend again. I marine if he shook an Alfani with 4 wives at home and 10kids who are in school.

Ebola is "susceptible" to dettol but more information is required. See https://www.nairaland.com/1882643/how-kill-ebola-virus-objects
