The team previously found the method effective in inactivating the airborne H1N1 influenza virus, as well as drug-resistant bacteria. And multiple, long-term studies on animals and humans have confirmed that exposure to far-UVC does not cause damage to the skin or eyes.If the eyes are not affected, the rays must be relatively safe for human cells in general,
Perhaps the patient's blood could be run thru a dialysis-type machine and be irradiated as it passed thru a field of the correctly modulated UV rays, breaking down the virus on contact.
Determining strength and type of ray as well as length of time on the machine would be in the hands of the research team.
President Trump may have discovered a new direction for the scientists.
ECMO. I don’t think it would work, the blood isn’t in the machine long enough, it has to be kept moving. As he was saying it I thought of that but the answer is “probably no”.
This is a respiratory infection, Einstein. Unless you’re shoving a lamp into the lower reaches of their lungs, your proposal wouldn’t do a damn thing for COVID.
