You can kill Covid with a flick of a switch, study shows
Ultraviolet LED lights kill coronavirus quickly, efficiently and cheaply — but don’t go stringing purple lights all over your home.
December 17, 2020:As the world continues to race toward a vaccine for Covid-19, new Israeli research shows that the humble light bulb could become a major player in the fight against the pandemic.
Researchers have discovered that coronavirus can be killed quickly, efficiently and cheaply using ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, or UV LED lights.
In a study recently published in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology researchers found the optimal wavelength for killing the coronavirus is 267 nanometers.
Story continues below advertisementThey also discovered that a wavelength of 286 nanometers is almost as efficient, requiring less than half a minute to destroy more than 99.9 percent of the coronaviruses – good news considering that 286 nm LED bulbs are much cheaper and more readily available, and could be installed in air conditioning and water systems.
“The entire world is currently looking for effective solutions to disinfect the coronavirus,” she says. “The problem is that in order to disinfect a bus, train, sports hall or plane by chemical spraying, you need physical manpower, and in order for the spraying to be effective, you have to give the chemical time to act on the surface.
“The disinfection systems based on LED bulbs, however, can be installed in the ventilation system and air conditioner, for example, and sterilize the air sucked in and then emitted into the room.”
Mamane explains that it is quite simple to kill the coronavirus using LED bulbs that radiate ultraviolet light.
“But no less important, we killed the viruses using cheaper and more readily available LED bulbs, which consume little energy and do not contain mercury like regular bulbs. Our research has commercial and societal implications, given the possibility of using such LED bulbs in all areas of our lives, safely and quickly.”
Ultraviolet radiation is a common method for killing viruses and bacteria. Ultraviolet disinfecting bulbs can be found, for example, in home water purifiers.
Earlier this year, scientists determined that applying ultraviolet light on the inside of ventilation systems in indoor spaces can quickly and efficiently deactivate both airborne and surface-deposited Covid-19.
Despite the exciting discovery, this is not the time to string purple lights all over your home.
“Of course, as always when it comes to ultraviolet radiation, it is important to make it clear to people that it is dangerous to try to use this method to disinfect surfaces inside homes,” Mamane warns.
“You need to know how to design these systems and how to work with them so that you are not dire

Muslims hate sunlight just like vampires.
and muslims think the Earth is a flying carpet according to Muhammad.
Fauci said you’ll still need to wear masks for the next ten years. You know, to be ‘safe’
“You know, to be told what to do”.
He’s milking this for all it’s worth, huh?
For future book sales.
Ego tripping hack.
Better than that – CONTROL and more MONEY from VACCINES! He’s happier than a pig rolling around in manure.
Did you miss Dr. Fraud’s birthday? Biden and his wife sang Happy Birthday when he turned 80 the other day and made it a holiday to celebrate his birthday. He has already accepted a position with the Biden administration so pandemics will go on and on and on with one vaccine after another and lock downs, more suicides, drug overdoses and chaos in general and more people government dependent, UNLESS we say enough it enough! I hope Trump gets his rightful win ….
We are already treated like animals – swabbing a nose is how they check for some diseases on animals. Instead of “sit” in place, we have, “lock downs.”
Nah – not books, vaccine sales.
He’s in it with Billy Gates and the startup vaccine company that produced a rare but severe reaction in one of the first physicians to take it. My guess is that the formula somehow leaked to industry giant Pfizer, who got to the market first with a more refined product, thus crippling Bill and Fauci’s reported projected per-dose cost at $3,800 per shot – time how many shots? How many “free” shots paid for by the government?
They successfully combined to produce a new treatament, more expensive and less effective than an old malaria drug; but follow the money…
Fine citizens all.
“Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth”
Albert Einstein.
He is serious too. Another “pandemic” is in the works. It will be one “pandemic” after another and one vaccine after another. They have plans for that too.
It’s the “invisible tattoo” financed by Bill Gates and the Koch Brothers and developed by MIT students who LOVE the convenience of it all! You can see what is coming….Prophecy coming to life! What Book could predict all this from over 2,000 years ago. It’s all lining up!
Just like COVID19 it is being planned and presented at Johns Hopkins University.
It’s scripted and even “spikes” during our holidays are mapped out for lock downs.
I am not kidding you. Here’s a PDF on it. It’s 89 pages but you can skim over it.

The “SPARS Pandemic 2025 – 2028 –
A Futuristic Scenario for Public Health Risk Communicators”
was a simulation at The Johns Hopkins University, back in October of 2017. And we all know by now what happens to simulations – they become real.
It will continue till we rise up against this nonsense.

It mentions a new virus that will infect mankind in 2025, and it will last until 2028.
It’s already known that vitamin D-3 reduces the onslaught of MERS, SARS, etc., as far back as 1985.
Vit. D-3 is what is gotten from sunlight. So, yeah, lights can help/kill Covid viruses.
Older people are often prescribed D-3 because they either don’t go out in the sun as often, or their older bodies can’t absorb sunlight as well as younger people.
Here’s another fun fact: The zero-to-54 age group constitutes only 13% of the total Covid deaths. The 85-75 are at 30%, the 75-65 are at 26%. So what’s that tell ya? GET OUT IN THE SUN, PEOPLE!
No,no we nead lockdowns, people have to stay at home, don´t pray to GOD, trust us – the NWO-goverment.
Sh**, I have to finish now there are people outside who hate me ( sure racists) and want to burn my house down.
Oh, just a dream, Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler are still in charge. Wow, for a moment I thought Satan lose the battle.
Speaking of that….
Elderly COVID-19 Patient Is Killed By Hospital Roommate For Praying
December 24, 2020
Frightening news came out of a hospital in California after an 82-year-old Covid patient is killed by a 37 year old Covid patient.
According to police reports, 37-year-old Jesse Martinez took an oxygen tank and killed his 82-year-old hospital roommate for praying.
It seems like the longer Covid goes on the darker things become.
…
A COVID-19 patient at a California hospital allegedly struck and killed his roommate with an oxygen tank because he was “upset when the victim started to pray,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday.
Jesse Martinez, 37, has been arrested on suspicion of a hate crime murder and elder abuse, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. The victim, an 82-year-old Hispanic man, was sharing a two-person room with Martinez at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster in northern Los Angeles County.
The men, who didn’t know each other, were both receiving treatment for COVID-19, according to the department.
“The suspect became upset when the victim started to pray. He then struck the victim with an oxygen tank,” authorities said in the release. The victim died from his injuries the next day.

Wonder if Jesse Martinez was illegal?
The moral to this news is NEVER SHARE A HOSPITAL ROOM WITH A STRANGER!
This is not the first time this has happened…..
Yep and filling our heads with that kind of evil reportage, goes against God’s Word. We are to “think on lovely things, good things, righteous things…” not evil.
“It seems like the longer Covid goes on the darker things become.”
Yep, that’s the plan fer sure, not kidding.
Oh, wow … a 20+ year old technology for destroying viruses works on Chicom-1984 …
… who knew? …
Not to mock the Israeli researchers – G-d bless ’em for doing the work …
… but this result was a predictable to qualified, competent, and experienced personnel …
… as boiling an egg on a stove might …
… boil an egg.
Only the CDC, the WHO, the Chicoms, the Enemedia, and the drones who believe the Enemedia might be surprised.
*** Everyone here enjoy the last week of 2020, and happy New Year!
Trump spoke of this when he mentioned HCQ.
He did. It’s a good idea.
… And just to be clear, I’m not knocking the researchers …
… it’s an important way to get the message out there…
*** Happy New Year to you and yours, Tardre! and ..
… and happy last week of 2020 to everyone passing by …
UV has been used in microlabs for decades. Patients placed in the sunshine during the Spanish flu fared better than those who stayed inside. Telling people to stay inside deprived them of vit D, sunshine and fresh air, which results in weakening the immune system. The CDC advised people to do the very things which would make them sick and desperate. So much for caring about the health of the country. They wanted us dead!
“regular” bulbs do not contain mercury. But regular bulbs were replaced in many countries by ignorant governments’ virtue signalling.
Then there are people like Fishdick and Jester….DIMBULBS.
Forget this was ever recommended. It was just your imagination.
Dr. Fraud admits he keeps changing the goal posts on when he thinks we will be rid of this virus.
They want to max it out for as long as possible for THEIR agenda and it’s an evil one.
This past summer you could have gotten ARRESTED for being on a beach!
And the media mocked Trump claiming he advised people to drink bleach. Go figure.
He was taken out of context and they knew it.
He was taken out of context and they knew it.
this is what President Trump was ridiculed about when he stated that a UV light probe might work going inside a person….
An LED light is about the size of a match head and could easily be mounted on the end of long flexible probe and inserted for a few minutes in lungs of sedated patients. it would not cure them but it might reduce the infection preventing a cytokine storm.
Anthony Fauci Turns Tyrant:
COVID-19 Spreads Because Americans Have Too Much Freedom
December 27, 2020
By JD Heyes
America’s lead immunologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has been in government nearly his entire adult life.
Having taken over as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1984, he joined the National Institutes of Health in 1968 — meaning he has been in Washington for more than 50 years. That’s longer than two careers with an average 20-year retirement.
Fauci said the “independent spirit in the United States of people not wanting to comply with public health measures has certainly hurt us a bit.”
Got that? We are ‘suffering through this virus’ because we Americans are just too darned free.
Fauci also went on to complain that too many people continue to treat the virus like a “hoax.”
…
“There are people in various parts of the country who still believe that [coronavirus] is a hoax, that it’s fake — even when in their own state the hospitals have been overrun with patients in the hospital beds and in the intensive care unit,” he said.
What is upsetting and even maddening to an increasing number of Americans is the arbitrary, non-science-related lock downs, business closures, and other mandates (like masks) that clearly aren’t mitigating the virus’ spread but are killing off entire industries and countless small businesses.
Worse, these goofy business-related policies — ‘the virus can’t hurt you in Walmart but it’ll get ya if you go to a gym or a restaurant’ — are nonsensical, devastating to business owners, and are being made by government representatives who aren’t losing a single dime’s worth of income.
Guys like Fauci, for instance. And millionaire governors and mayors like Bill de Blasio and Andrew Cuomo in New York, and Gavin Newsom in California.
Worse, some of these bozos keep getting caught violating their own lockdowns and COVID mandates requiring the wearing of masks and mandated social distancing.
How can Americans take these people — and this disease —
seriously when those who are making the rules
a) aren’t losing any money themselves; and
b) don’t seem to take it serious themselves?
Nevertheless, Fauci went on to say that Americans should forego celebrating Christmas this year — like he advised against gathering for Thanksgiving, though tens of millions did and there was no ‘Thanksgiving COVID spike’ in most regions.
“They are not going to come home … That’s painful. We don’t like that,” he said. “But that’s just one of the things you’re going to have to accept as we go through this unprecedented challenging time.”
He added: “You try to explain: You’re going to have many more Christmases ahead of you. You’ve enjoyed many more Christmases before. Maybe this is a time to just say, ‘This is an unusual situation, it’s not going to last forever.”
No, Dr. Fauci; we don’t ‘have to accept’ that we can’t see our loved ones during one of our country’s most beloved and observed holiday seasons. Scores of Americans won’t be around next Christmas to see their loved ones.
And besides, when did life on earth become a zero-risk endeavor?
We figure we’re smart enough to take into consideration a virus that, despite the fact that most people are doing what they’ve been asked to do, is still spreading.
Free people get to make these decisions. Enslaved people don’t.
BTW, Deborah Birx just retired after she was caught being a HYPOCRITE ad getting together with three generations of her own family for Thanksgiving, while telling you not to do that.
Dr Birx is to RETIRE after ‘overwhelming’ backlash over her out-of-state Thanksgiving trip: ‘Hypocrite’ COVID expert to step down after ignoring her own travel warning

Birx and her husband have a home in Washington. She also owns a home in nearby Potomac, Maryland, where her elderly parents, and one of her daughters and family live, and where Birx visits intermittently.
In addition, the children’s other grandmother, who is 77, also regularly travels to the Potomac house and returns to her 92-year-old husband near Baltimore.
Birx initially called the Potomac home a ‘3 generation household (formerly 4 generations).’ White House officials later said it continues to be a four-generation household, a distinction that would include Birx as part of the home.

Birx was accompanied on the Delaware trip by her husband Paige Reffe (above together), as well as her daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren. They live in separate households and had dinner together.
I was in the Waste industry for decades and one 23 cubic metre compactor bins I serviced had an ultraviolet disinfecting system on it.
THE best way to deal with this China Flu is to drink a small Bottle of Scotch Whisky and then go to bed, you may wake up with a slight headache/hangover, if you are not used to drinking Scotch, but this headache will soon go away after you have some Breakfast and Coffee. This is the way people in Scotland dealt with the Flu any time they got it during the harsh Winter Months.
Will a good, smooth Tennessee whiskey do instead, if we don’t have any Scotch on hand?
Asking for a friend……..
Nope, scotch is fermented differently.
Well known for many years.
All passenger airplanes and most buses have air conditioning systems that can be easily and cheaply modified with UVC lights in the duct work making traveling safe again. What are the airlines doing with all those billions the government gave them?????
Like regular bulbs? Regular bulbs don’t contain mercury. Regular bulbs produce healthy incandescent light. Can we repeal the stupid regulations yet?
We put 8 powerful uv fixtures in our church. We turn them on for 20 minutes before allowing people in. No sprays, no wipes, fast and efficient
It’s silly how we are disinfecting the busses and trains like we are.
There are products out there that you just put up somewhere high and it gently off-gasses. Next morning no virus.
I dunno. Lots of money to be had.
