Re: I don't like Trump
Without googling I’ve heard some virus RNA breaks down in sunlight due to UV radiation, so what StA says is making sense to me. Have we heard wrong?

Maybe it would not be a bad idea to suspend UV lights in covid ICU wards.
The antibody latches on to the virus making it impossible for the virus to enter into any more cells to hijack them for replication, and somehow there are t-cells that kill infected cells. That's about all I know off hand.

Re: I don't like Trump
Here is an AJ article about the research:

High humidity reduces half life to six hours as well.
Maybe we just need to install humidifiers in grocery stores, pull off the light covers, and use something closer to those full UV bulbs that were popular for growing plants prior to LEDs.
That really is not a super expensive mitigation measure at all. It's not cheap either, but not impractical. If you can reduce spread by even half, that should have a big effect, since these days most spreading is going on in places like grocery stores.

UV light kills viruses in less than an hour.
Looked at getting set up for my decon room. But couldn't find the size I wanted affordable.
Use a small one in the entry bath where everyone washes up.

Re: I don't like Trump
Like what did those shitty Rainforest Cafe restaurants use to make the inside of the store feel humid and misty? Does that scale up to the size of a grocery store or even a Super Walmart?
The UV bulbs we used to make even ten years ago. I am not sure if those were replaced by LED grow lights since then, however.

We also use humidifiers with colloidal silver.

Re: I don't like Trump
Right here:
https://www.smartfog.com/humidifier-products.html
All that equipment is made in the USA. No trade problems.
Germicidal light bulbs:
https://www.1000bulbs.com/category/ultr ... ermicidal/
Instead of fucking around with gibs, spend money on manufacturing that stuff and deploying it to every grocery and department store in the country.
It is also possible to just run water through little pipes that create mist. That would instantly ramp up humidity around the shopping cart areas. Maybe add a bit of lysol in the water and suspend that above the carts.

Re: I don't like Trump
There's not enough discussion along this line.
Putting all our hopes on a vaccine is stupid. And WTF do we do from now till then ?
Gotta come up with good practices and procedures that protect people and allow the country to keep moving.
