"And what our customers have seen and reported in the medical literature is reduction in these infections in the rate of up to 50 percent," he said.

50% reduction of Ebola in hospital setting with a full viral load might not be good enough.

And I;m guessing the 50% is a result of virus pools hiding in the shadows and hidden nooks and crannies, light traveling in a straight path and all.

It might help to have one roaming the halls to zot the MRSA, too...

I don't think 50% is nearly good enough for primary decontamination with an ID50 of 1-10 virons.
