Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

Ultra violet light for school and businesses

One approach to battling such airborne-spread of coronavirus that’s capturing attention is a century-old technology, known as germicidal ultraviolet air disinfection, or GUV, that zaps harmful airborne germs. In modern use, the lights are tucked inside air conditioning systems or mounted high above people’s heads near ceiling fans that draw the air up so the lights can disarm the germs.

What if half of your building does not have air conditioning?

We've been over this. Just go outside.

GUV Just like any light there are various units that can be adapted to do an "upper room" lighting. Consult the makers.

Then you work at a public school.

While the report sucks donkey balls, it is good information to have before the end of July.

EDIT: Upon reflection, it seems to me that older kids are likely to do better than the younger ones with distance learning. And starting out with just younger kids in the schools, you can spread them out to more classrooms (keeping all the teachers employed).

That's what we're doing. Both kids are remote/distance learning to start out the year. My daughter absolutely loves the idea (and thrived) and while my son struggled a bit, once we established a routine he caught up in a hurry.

They both have a lot of friends near us now (the wonders of being in a new build neighborhood), so socialization isn't the issue it might have been otherwise. Plus if it opens a spot up for a family that can't support staying at home as easily as we can, that's cool too.

UV Light is great for disinfecting items or removing things from the air. Won't do much for the situation we're dealing with (because of the information that @Bucklion and @DaddyBigBucks have shared throughout this thread).

Best means for addressing this virus is frequent cleaning. There's no substitute.

What about classrooms filled with water, with kids and teachers all wearing snuba suits?

 

[Bucklion]

What about classrooms filled with water, with kids and teachers all wearing snuba suits?

Yes but are the classrooms outside with a lot of sunlight coming through the water?

Is that the suit one must be wearing to play this?

Oh look.....somebody who hasn't been paying a lick of attention. Inject the sunlight into the water, stupid.

So, last week (Monday through yesterday) a total of 6,568 people died from COVID (i.e., listed as COVID deaths). Using a one-week lag between cases and deaths, there were 472,842 cases during the week 13-19 Jul. This comes out to a death rate of 1.39%, which is far below the cumulative death rate of 3.40% (150,275 deaths out of 4,424,295 cases).
