There is scientific evidence that UV light can be used to disinfect public areas and it can be done safely. If it's going to prevent spreading it, why not use it? With all the things that are unknown about the virus, it seems shortsighted to just dismiss it out of hand when it is a proven method and has been for years and it is an inexpensive solution.

UV light is commonly used to disinfect equipment. It's actually quite effective. I'm actually a bit surprised it's not utilized more. That said, for disinfecting your hands and body, soap and water works as well as anything.

A lame attempt at sarcasm or whatever those comments were in the briefing yesterday were not well thought out. I'm being overly generous. The comments were pretty terrible.

Anyone taking that comment seriously isn't thinking clearly either though. Who in their right mind thinks drinking bleach or something similar is a solution to curing or treating the virus? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
