Can special lightbulbs end the next pandemic before it starts?

Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere?::Can special lightbulbs end the next pandemic before it starts?

    Because it burns you. That’s the answer. It kills your skin cells and eyes the same way it kills the bacteria. Also, it is everywhere, it’s fucking outside. The sun. Fucking stupid. Idiots.

    Know what else kills bacteria? Bleach. So get chugging.

    So stupid.

      Um, I’m going to copy a comment I made elsewhere:

      Dude, read the article. The whole point is it uses shorter wavelengths so it doesn’t penetrate your skin or cornea.

      Unlike me with your mom.

      At this point, it’s clear that in small-scale settings, far-UV can kill the vast majority of pathogens present, which in turn would vastly reduce the risk of respiratory disease spread. It seems safe for human skin, and likely safe for human eyes, too.

      Luckily we are more thick skinned than a bacteria, who would have thought?

      Imagine not reading the article and having this much confidence in your terrible response.
