Thats a great side effect when dealing with being exposed to the virus, but I think health professionals would not recommend this instead of a vaccine.
>The three types of UV radiation are classified according to their wavelength. They differ in their biological activity and the extent to which they can penetrate the skin. The shorter the wavelength, the more harmful the UV radiation. However, shorter wavelength UV radiation is less able to penetrate the skin.
>Short-wavelength UVC is the most damaging type of UV radiation. However, it is completely filtered by the atmosphere and does not reach the earth's surface.
>Medium-wavelength UVB is very biologically active but cannot penetrate beyond the superficial skin layers. It is responsible for delayed tanning and burning; in addition to these short-term effects it enhances skin ageing and significantly promotes the development of skin cancer. Most solar UVB is filtered by the atmosphere.
I think this is a misunderstanding.
It won't penetrate deep into the skin, it will continuously cook the top layers.
Frequent exposure WILL cause damage to skin and eyes.
Creating and selling personal protective equipment should be taken very seriously.
Putting UVC light sources on a headband without controlling airflow is simply too risky, no one could safely guarantee that a stray air current and or virus from an unexpected angle would be exposed to enough light for enough time to be safe. Air flow must be controlled.
That mask uses UVA which doesn't kill germs. Only the horrifyingly dangerous UVC kills germs. Don't even think about making a DIY UVC device. You could blind yourself in seconds.
But more than a few of them would be disruptive and ruin the land and ruin it for everyone else.
There are plenty of articles and videos about what ends up happening to these encampments- they turn into dumps with piles of used needles and lots of human waste. The last thing you'd want is something catching fire and spreading.
Generally, most habitable 'live off the land' type of places are spoken for already, no nearby property owners are going to approve of such a 'zone'.
i think they're in some odd holding pattern on their downward spiral, where there isn't enough capital for changing the business or even purchasing new product, but there isn't enough business potential for new investment either.
perhaps they are keeping everything open as shells to try and shop some deal to potential investors as revitalizing a once great brand.
someone up high has some really good and specific reasons for keeping most of the stores barely open and operational.
if there were responsible people at the helm they would shutter nearly all the locations immediately.
they probably have a few dozen months of funding left at this pace, no idea what they're holding out for, they seem to be just delaying the inevitable.
