There are three means of stopping Pandemics.
Isolation works.
Vaccines are of little use as demonstrated by the ‘Seasonal Flu’ vaccine.
Treatment, not hospice or nursing, but the use of devices to accomplish a process or procedure to heal patients is needed.
The Space Force and other Military groups need virus free personal to man facilities, stations and planets.
As a writer for GTG Inc., I do not hold back my innovations or concepts from the Public when a Pandemic Emergency is occuring. Monetary reward or ‘Credit’ are not necessary.
‘Cutting Edge Technology ‘ is working on Graphene Electrodes, Far UV light, LEDs at Far UV; if we can develop point source far UV LEDs and string them together like pearls, then they can be suspended in fluids to expose and meet dwell time requirements to disinfect fluids.
The purpose is to remove all active viruses and prions by disrupting their DNA sequence. It is all a matter of scale. Living cells are large with their DNA located in the center of the cell, while virus and prions are at risk to 222nm UV light and will have their DNA sequence disrupted.
If all the components are not developed yet, the use of Far UV light to surround and expose in a clear to UV tubing segment of an extracorporeal circuit, as with Hemodialysis and ECMO treatments can reduce the viruses markedly. The FDA has granted use of new technology in regards to Covid-19 and ECMO treatment.
Where as, the major contraindications of all such treatments is infections, a new disinfection technique is highly desirable.
It is proposed that UV LEDs of the specific frequency of 220nm be mounted in a cylindral collar, facing inward, that can be used to be fastened around various diameter tubing with UV transparent properties allowing the exposure of fluids in the tubing to the disinfecting properties of the generated light.
In summary, UV 222nm is effective as a disinfecting process. The scale of the domain allows that specfic size objects are energized highly while large objects are not. Example, shooting an elephant with grains of sand. A definite hazard to gnats, but harmless to the animal.
