I have no idea why anybody thinks steam will help unless one wants to live in a steam room.

It will reduce the ability of the virus to spread both by mechanical effects and the temperature being able to kill the "naked" virus. That is not going to kill any existing infection as the virus is protected from the heat by your body itself. You would actually have to raise the temp of your cells and body fluid significantly. As hot as it might feel, that is not going to happen.

The biggest issue here in the States right now is the squable within the admin. Pence thinks science does not work so we should gather in large stadiums have joint prayer sessions. Trump thinks the board wall and fines on illegal immigration will solve it.

If steam truly has tha great a benefit, more of us should probably turn our showers into steam rooms/showers, I gather it isn't that big a remodel to do it.

When compared to steam room/showers I am guessing that steam from a boiling pot is a cheaper and more efficient way to kill the Corona virus.
