Shadows.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ultraviolet retained a small coterie of enthusiasts over the ensuing decades, focused narrowly on preventing transmission of tuberculosis — which has no reliably effective vaccine for adults — in its remaining hotbeds, like homeless shelters.

The biggest test it received, the Tuberculosis Ultraviolet Shelter Study of 1997-2004, demonstrated that “upper room” UV, in which UV-emitting lamps are placed at least 6.9 feet above the floor where they can disinfect air without harming humans, was safe.

It wasn’t — detective work from scholars including Linsey Marr, Jose-Luis Jimenez, and Katherine Randall in the middle of the pandemic determined that this conclusion was based on a misinterpretation of the Wellses’ research that had somehow persisted for decades in the medical profession.

“This is the most difficult talk I’ve had to give in my career,” Jose-Luis Jimenez, a distinguished professor of chemistry at the University of Colorado, told the audience at the first International Congress on Far-UVC Science and Technology this past June.

But 2020 was also an unusually brutal year for airborne disease: 49,783 Americans died from influenza in 2019, for instance (and none from Covid); 1 percent of that number is about 500 people, which starts to feel comparable to the air pollution cost Jimenez identifies.

Jimenez favors using UV in very high-risk locations, such as hospitals, but worries that construction companies, schools, malls, and the like will seize on the potential of far-UV as an excuse not to invest in proper ventilation and filtration, leaving us with the ugly trade-off he identifies.

The original article contains 4,104 words, the summary contains 252 words. Saved 94%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I could see UV light also causing plastics to oxidize and become brittle much faster, because they might not be made for that kind of exposure. So using UV light might mean having to replace a lot of plastic things too.

can it kill Tardigrades though?

The issue with stuff that kills everything is that... Well it kills everything.

Because disease walks around as a person and is all the government, police, and banks. Even the jury and consumers here in fast food land, why does no one kill them all and live here. There’s natural food, processed food, jobs, cigarettes, booze, pharmacies, clothing, internet, addresses, electronic stores, knock off stores, bong stores, strip clubs, casinos, and now there’s weed stores. Hospitals what do you mean Japan was like a hospital itself. All anyone did was health stuff preparing for sexual things, and some drug use, but cigarette smoking ruined it. They got that mad about it, and probably alcohol, someone must have faked drug laws existing. Somehow there’s some election system or court that ruins it all. Oh well we all behave and lay in bed like we were supposed to with these TVs

Oh yes and there’s disease added to the food/drinks to brainwash everyone into the parasite economics thing that’s them stealing and embezzling everything and acting with it. But nothing could go on without sanitation or narcotic use, these things wanted occupy someone’s brain and seek attention 24 hours a day in the same house as them.

We’d have to starve ourself while working or finding a job but everyone was self employed, celebrities, and or business owners, stock holders. Maybe shareholders didn’t have these issues. There may have been uv c light bulbs in public schools or outdoor street posts which is why they worked so well at pulling everyone’s mind out of disease banking systems, where the disease didn’t even start it. They were just on the money as in a virus or bacteria physically on it, and they were on cards that come in the mail with that as a way to track you. Seems terrible but it for sure ended identity theft and credit card fraud.
