[TRENDING] Sunlight destroys coronavirus quickly, say US scientists

William Bryan, Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Science, announces that the administration is intensifying studies that examine the effect of sunlight, heat, and humidity on the half life of the coronavirus.

"Our most striking observation to date is the powerful effect that solar light appears to have on killing the virus, both surfaces and in the air," he said. A key question, however, will be what the intensity and wavelength of the UV light used in the experiment was and whether this accurately mimics natural light conditions in summer.

But the half-life dropped to six hours when humidity rose to 80 percent -- and to just two minutes when sunlight was added to the equation.

And winter is upon us

It means virus 🦠 should not stepped on our African continent, we are blessed with sun 🌞 throughout the year.

SA is knee deep in shit then. With winter starting...shorter days! Hier kom kak

best put this down then

We should inject it

Yeah...True

This is exciting

How does he know that

I'm not taking anything from the USA if it's not injecting disinfectants into our blood streams and now this. Lord help us America seems to be confused

This virus mayb novel & all but viruses like warm places like a host so they can replicate, clearly it's something else like oxygen that destroys the virus not mere 'sunlight'.

Sunlight washing liquid?

Cool!! Let's all go busk in the sun! Oh, damm.....it's nighttime.

this is like telling us boiling water kills germs 🙄

Aren’t those the same scientists who told President Trump about spraying disinfectant , and ; the news media’s spun it around without mentioning he was reflecting on their conversations.enca

We can't believe anything from the US. This crazy one wants people to be injected with Dettol disinfect as a cure 😲

Incoming - Trump announcing naked bathing in sunligjt the new cure for COVID-19.

So why do we stay indoors ?

That's what they all say and likes the cold🤷

If that were true the virus would‘ve been dead long ago. However what the sun will do is give us Vitamin D - Vitamin D will help boost the immune system ... amongst other things. 20-30 mins a day is healthy!

On surfaces *

Yet, still no cure🙄

Oh if so then there would be no coronavirus in Nigeria, give us a break🙄
