ultraviolet light wont help when people are having sex.
Been using UV light in hospitals for years. Jaundiced babies are goggled and placed under it and it is used for disinfecting rooms. Next...
new cases-data, new infections, r not the correct measure: it does not give us the whole picture. for those infected, '99.8 Percent of People Get Through this with Little to No Progressive or Significant Disease'.
Who owns the companies producing this UV equipment? Are they Trump supporters?
Just give them masks. Remember masks are the cure!!
That's not even close to how much we tax payers have paid trump resorts in the last 3 1/2 years. We should be combating covid19 on all fronts, not golfing every weekend during a pandemic.
hmmm.... the things trump was talking about months ago, when people lied and said he said they should drink bleach? i wonder if trump ever gets tired of being right.
Let the criminals die save us $$$$
Ultraviolet was it not the President who said that if I am not mistaken and everybody dismissed it If it's not effective why are they using it now?
Yes we need to protect the criminals for heavens sake. They deserve the very best.
紫外線殺菌装置にコロナウィルスが有効だと米国は考えているの？🙄 日本の紫外線が強い時期の5,6月ウィルスが弱まったのか？
Such bullshit. This is going to kill people and track them and likely take their blood if they have the right typo.
It just never stops. Incarcerated people have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Using a device on them that is neither effective or safe is an abomination.
Gas station has mask for .50 each. Could have saved some money.
Thought masks worked?
So...Trump was right....again. MAGA2020
Hmmmm exactly what Trump was discussing at the famous press conference which nutty Dem PR (journos) tried to say meant “inject Lysol.” Funny how that works...
Just let them all out. That it is working wonderfully.
Oh my: 'We would like to inform the public that there are no protocols to advise or to permit the safe use of UV light directly on the human body at the wavelengths and exposures proven to efficiently kill viruses such as SARS-CoV-2”.
You mean the American taxpayer had spent almost $3M
I hear if you take that light and put it in the body, it will kill Coronavirus. People are saying.
useless and still a joke you guys want freedom and not prevention
Use Germicidal UV-C light ... REQUIRE Amusement Park, Malls, Nursing Care Homes and Schools, Restaurants and Gyms with NEGATIVE Pressure VENTILATIONS FANS, MERV13 AIRFILTERS to reduce VIRUSES in Air Circulation like in Hospitals WEARMASKS MASK4ALL
So why is California putting prisoners in nice hotels? Walnut Creek.
Hmmm so not safe/deemed effective on humans...millions made...Florida. 🤔🤨
Meanwhile, our schools are left with nothing
How about you release non violent drug offenders instead of keeping them locked in private for profit prisons
Imagine the black light revelations in a prison cell
The time has come for harsh truth. The AVERAGE age of death from COVID is 75. It is not a threat to 0-65, and healthy. That sounds cold, but it is fact. So why is the Nation shut down? It is a LIE.
