Here is a good reason why it shouldn't be everywhere:
, they "determined that UV-A emitting lights installed in one corner of the event
Well yeah. You're supposed to use UV-C for these applications. They are fucking stupid
Because it slowly kills us too.
A lot of applications turn it on when you aren’t in the room.
Has anyone from Vox has ever... Been outside before?
Here's are some fun UV facts:
Too much ultraviolet radiation (UV) from sunlight is dangerous.
Nearly half of UV radiation is received between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are the strongest.
Even on a cloudy day, you can be sunburned by UV radiation.
Theres a new thing where you distinguish different kinds of UV radiation, apparently some are not that dangerous to humans but would still be effective against bacteria.
However I cannot say if its legit or not since I didn't read much around it just saying this for awareness.
Oh I know. I skimmed the video a little, it just sounds like one of those hot new things someone with investment money sent to them so they "reported" on it.
It also helps breakdown materials outside.
Every hospital I've been to has these lamps in various places in the hallways like on the way into the ICU. Stop your ignorant fear mongering.
"Oh, I skimmed the video, but I don't trust science, so I'm going to question the intelligence of everyone involved with this website because I don't believe anyone else but me knows anything about UV light. Here are some irrelevant facts..."
Willfully ignorant people like you make me so angry. Especially when they spread their ignorant horseshit like they're so fucking smart. As if we don't ALL know about the dangers of long exposure to sunlight. Appropriate UV lamps for killing viruses do not equal sunlight!
Far UVC. Naomi Wu had a bunch of content on it.
Is there any more information on what happened to her? Last I heard she was under close surveillance by the Chinese government perhaps because of things she said regarding the Uighurs.
She seems to be "okay" for now. The government wasn't nice about their visit and she can't post anymore. She did bring out a book about the shenzhen tech market you can buy to support her. She could leave the country but her partner can't. So she isn't leaving either. Its so fucked up what happened. 😔
There seems to be a severe lack of watching the video before commenting in this thread - basically all comments appear to be answered by the actual video content.
I'm not giving them ten minutes just to find out if they mentioned melanoma
This is the internet. What did you expect?
I do think its funny people are like. "I wonder what kind of bulbs are needed." Basic shit that's probably in the video! But I wouldn't know because I didn't watch it before commenting.
cancer risk?
I'd be more scared of going blind, personally.
Naomi Wu actually developed a Far UVC kit you can buy of four small lights of Far UVC https://cybernightmarket.com/products/mini-far-uvc-lights-set
I'd be curious to see what UV lights are best for killing viruses and how long it takes. Would it have to be directly exposed or would being in the 'shadow' of UV rays also work just less effectively.
Like would it be feasible to have a brief UV sanitation 'shower' upon returning from outside to kill a large percentage of viruses/bacteria with little risk to your own health, skin/eyes, etc.?
Can we stop posting this idiotic article?
Next we'll see "Bleach kills cancer. Why don't we inject it into your veins?"
You'll fade your couch and retinas
It is almost everywhere when it's day time.
Isn't there a way we can just inject the UV into our veins?
34% of America:
“I’d vote for this guy”
I'd be very interested to see how many of them ate paint chips as a kid, or were exposed to lead in their drinking water.
A third of our country should be this ridiculously knuckleheaded, but here we are.
