Don’t these people know that it is already used in hospitals and biopharma labs? I guess not.
What is different is that they are discussing a specific wavelength that is not as dangerous to humans but still impacts the RNA in the Virus shells.
From what I can tell - the ones in use now are UVC bulbs. I bought some in January and use them for decon. But the existing ones are harmful to eyes, skin, animals and plants. So they can only be used in empty rooms or a box.
This newer version FAR-UVC is supposed to be safe for eyes and skin so can be used while people are in the room. I think this is one of those things that should be fast-tracked into being certified and produced.
Although I wonder what “good” things might be damaged as well. I’m guessing that some germs, bacteria or what ever that are on our skin or around us are beneficial to humans? Or maybe all of the good ones are in our digestive system and well away from the light.
