A technique that zaps airborne viruses with a narrow-wavelength band of UV light shows promise for curtailing the person-to-person spread of COVID-19 in indoor public places.

The technology, developed by Columbia University’s Center for Radiological Research, uses lamps that emit continuous, low doses of a particular wavelength of ultraviolent light, known as far-UVC, which can kill viruses and bacteria without harming human skin, eyes and other tissues, as is the problem with conventional UV light.

In a few weeks time, these studies will come out and once again Trump will be vindicated.

"It’s called a PUVA Booth. They are everywhere. Every Dermatologist has one."

Yes, but they are in the UVA spectrum of ultraviolet light for skin ailments. The suggested sterilizing treatment for killing viruses and bacteria is in the UVC spectrum.

PUVA (psoralen and ultraviolet A) is an ultraviolet light therapy treatment for eczema, psoriasis, graft-versus-host disease, vitiligo, mycosis fungoides, large-plaque parapsoriasis and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma using the sensitizing effects of the drug psoralen.
