Ultraviolet radiation is a common method of killing bacteria and viruses. Now, researchers from Tel Aviv University have proven that the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, can be killed efficiently, quickly and cheaply using ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) at specific frequencies. “We discovered that it is quite simple to kill the coronavirus using LED bulbs that radiate ultraviolet light,” said Prof. Hadas Mamane, head of the Environmental Engineering Program at Tel Aviv University's School of Mechanical Engineering, who led the study with Prof. Yoram Gerchman and Dr. Michal Mandelboim.

Trump mentioned this and the fraudster covid pimps jumped all over him.
The old folks homes need this type of cleaning....which I think some do.
this isn’t really a discovery.
Maybe they test which wavelength and how long, but they’ve known for long time that UV kills viruses, uvc
Trump was more right again.
So get outside. Get some sunshine.
These lockdowns are killing people by the millions.
Teacher’s unions won’t like this information.
“Trump was more right again.”
And THEY did not want the covid assisted coup to be shut down so they discredited Trump for the UV light and the Hydroxy he talked about in the very beginning.
THEY LIED AND PEOPLE DIED.... JUST TO KEEP TRUMP FROM A SECOND TERM.
Fine.
NOW can we all get back to living our lives?
I live in Calgary, Alberta, in the country of Kanadahar (formerly known as Canada). What is this ‘sunshine’ you speak of? Sunrise was 8:40 AM and sunset is 4:36 PM today. It is cloudy and snowing. Not really sure what this ‘sunshine’ is, that you speak of.
Going back to the 70s? Black lights and UV paint... ???
This isn’t new. UV light ahs been used for decades.
I got a UV light in early February. I use it a few times a week for 5 minutes or more. It is still going strong.
I got my daughter one in March. Same brand. It lasted about 5 minutes and burned out!?
Get thee to a tanning booth.
Interesting fixation on COVID-19. Does UV light kill other seasonal viruses as well?
In 1878, Arthur Downes and Thomas P. Blunt published a paper describing the sterilization of bacteria exposed to short-wavelength light. UV has been a known mutagen at the cellular level for over 100 years. The 1903 Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Niels Finsen for his use of UV against lupus vulgaris, tuberculosis of the skin.
Using UV light for disinfection of drinking water dates back to 1910 in Marseille, France. The prototype plant was shut down after a short time due to poor reliability. In 1955, UV water treatment systems were applied in Austria and Switzerland; by 1985 about 1,500 plants were employed in Europe. In 1998 it was discovered that protozoa such as cryptosporidium and giardia were more vulnerable to UV light than previously thought; this opened the way to wide-scale use of UV water treatment in North America. By 2001, over 6,000 UV water treatment plants were operating in Europe.
The invention of simple UVC LEDs has created all sorts of innovation in this area. You can buy a Rockubot, "the world's first UV-C Sterilizing Music playing Robot." One of their models travels over your bed to disinfect it.
