A team of scientists is calling for greater research into how sunlight inactivates SARS-CoV-2 after realizing there's a glaring discrepancy between the most recent theory and experimental results...
...The researchers suspect it's possible that instead of affecting the RNA directly, long-wave UVA may be interacting with molecules in the testing medium (simulated saliva) in a way that hastens the inactivation of the virus.
Something similar is seen in wastewater treatment – where UVA reacts with other substances to create molecules that damage viruses....

Hell, based upon the article, I’m heading out to swim in a wastewater treatment facility tomorrow. ;-)
Duh. UV is is used in pharma labs to destroy all kinds of nasty critters. Furthermore, this was brought up over a year ago.
UV initiates formation of Vitamin D...
right. But for the most part the focus was on UVC. This hypothesis says UVA, while a weaker radiation than UVB, perhaps because of indirect action mechanisms, is 8x more effective.

This is why I say Ultra Violet C-band could be used to sterilize groceries as they leave the store and inside air ducts to disinfect the air.

Vitamin D
If some politician wants to propose a new “Manhattan Project” to protect us from future dangerous viruses, then devising widespread systems to deactivate the buggers with UV light, rather than the stupid masks and “social distancing”, might be a worthy goal.
I think I’d prefer to put the product of the original Manhattan Project to work attacking the problem at the source by vaporizing the CCP demons who produced and spread the current virus, but that’s just me.
Important
I like the way you think. Go after CCP.

Yeah. By February 24th I had 2 UV lamps form myself and one each for my kids. Plus all sorts of other stuff. Although I did go overboard. I see where Costco has tons of bottles of 70% isopropol, wipes, etc. now. But - I had plenty to share with relatives and neighbors back when.
I also spent thousands of dollars on car and homeowner’s insurance that I didn’t use last year.

But first, you need to cover yourself in saliva.
Because the darkness cannot stand the light.
