You don't want to stare at UV-C...it will blind you. I bought safety glasses. I also cover the unit when in use: Box sign.jpg On Thu, Apr 16, 2020 at 10:46 PM Terry Blanton wrote: > The NIH article

Re: [Vo]:Weaponizing coronavirus

The NIH article states that masks are damaged by chemical agents. I first heard of the Swedes sterilizing masks with 254 nm light. Then found the NIH article and decided to build my own. I ordered the parts from Amazon a few weeks back and had it up and running last week. Two sources means you

[Vo]:Weaponizing coronavirus

Here is a bit of worrisome speculation… One hopes that there is no factual basis for the following alarming suggestion. If not, look for it in a film on Netflix.. The present wave of infection going through the USA will peak soon or has already peaked in selected regions. That situation
