I spray my house with a fogger for fleas and ticks since I own two dogs. It does the job for roaches, spiders, ants, flies, and a wide variety of household pests.
Thus, I was wondering why not spray public places for COVID-19 if it will help get non-essential businesses open again. I think right now, only several countries spray publicly and they are mostly authoritarian countries such as China, Russia, Iran, South Korea, Nigeria, Indonesia, and more. I think public spraying with diluted bleach is spreading in more countries in Asia as no vaccine has been found. What about in some of the states here in the US? Some states have seen more outbreaks after it going down. Would you be for it if you knew of the pros and cons? The cons would be a "higher risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A 2017 study linked exposure to disinfectants to asthma to adults in Germany." Another con is that it may not be that effective, but most businesses can't clean after every customer has come and gone. So why not spray every so often?
The best way is still to limit people-to-people contact, wash your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds, avoid touching your face, and regularly wear masks when in proximity to other people, but this still causes businesses to remain closed.
Here are the pros and cons:
The disinfectant has to be left on for a while before wiping down
Mostly, public spraying doesn't work nor is it effective as it is not done correctly
What do you think? Are enough businesses open to take care of you needs until a vaccine is found? Or would you support public spraying if it will open more businesses in a mall?

Photos show how people around the world are disinfecting schools, mosques, and streets to stop the coronavirus from spreading
Misting tunnels, spray guns, and robots are sanitizing public places. But experts are still debating the effectiveness.
