This sounds incredibly promising, but I know nothing about these kinds of things. Thoughts?

The most amazing positive thing about all of this is the incredible response from the medical world in trying to combat this. New, real, positive solutions are popping up every day - most will fail, but with the amount of energy and brain power behind it, there will be solutions sooner rather than later. It's just getting them approved and through trials. But this is a watershed moment in world science, amazing to watch. A race for a cure like we've never seen before.

Overall, this whole thing really is starting to have a "space race" feel to it. As much as the virus itself will likely change our way of life for the foreseeable future, besides even the more "immediate" solutions, I think a major positive to come out of all of this will be noticeable advancements in all kinds of treatment areas. For instance, I could see this whole UV-C thing posted in another thread easily becoming standard in building codes and what not down the line...

Yeah I hope this changes building codes and other things as well

Like I would hope that all commercial building codes will updated to prohibit bathroom doors that open in. And that it would be come the norm in residential building.

I would hope Things like copper cladding on fixtures would become en Vogue for at least a while.

That's a great idea, re: bathroom doors that don't open in. The more things like that the better. Actually, the fewer things I have to touch in public, period, the better.

This whole deal will rapidly advance how we deal with all sorts of disease.
