Um, I’m going to copy a comment I made elsewhere:
Dude, read the article. The whole point is it uses shorter wavelengths so it doesn’t penetrate your skin or cornea.
Unlike me with your mom.
Comment on Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere?

Because it burns you. That’s the answer. It kills your skin cells and eyes the same way it kills the bacteria. Also, it is everywhere, it’s fucking outside. The sun. Fucking stupid. Idiots.
Know what else kills bacteria? Bleach. So get chugging.
So stupid.

At this point, it’s clear that in small-scale settings, far-UV can kill the vast majority of pathogens present, which in turn would vastly reduce the risk of respiratory disease spread. It seems safe for human skin, and likely safe for human eyes, too.

Imagine not reading the article and having this much confidence in your terrible response.
