Not much further down. The problem is that most people know very little basic science, which leads to fear of the unknown. Viruses (and most other infectious agents) are not all that scary once you understand them. Good old-fashioned soap and water is more effective at deactivating viruses than chemical sanitizers. The only reason you need to scrub for 20 seconds is to make sure the soap actually touches all of the virus particles.
