GET OUTSIDE: Sunlight inactivates Wuhan coronavirus 8 times faster than previously predicted, researchers found

https://www.afinalwarning.com/508945.html (Natural News) Researchers found that sunlight inactivates the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) more than eight times more quickly than predicted. Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara), and his colleagues reviewed recent studies that explored the effects of different bands of ultraviolet (UV) light – namely, UVA, UVB and UVC radiation – on SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19. UVA is weakest among the three while UVC is the most energetic and has been shown to inactivate viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. Nearly all of the UV radiation that reaches the surface is UVA since all of UVC and most of UVB rays are absorbed by Earth’s ozone layer.

Sunlight Inactivates Coronavirus 8 Times Faster Than Predicted We Need to Know Why

2 APRIL 2021 A team of scientists is calling for greater research into how sunlight inactivates SARS-CoV-2 after realizing there s a glaring discrepancy between the most recent theory and experimental results.   UC Santa Barbara mechanical engineer Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz and colleagues noticed the virus was inactivated as much as eight times faster in experiments than the most recent theoretical model predicted. The theory assumes that inactivation works by having UVB hit the RNA of the virus, damaging it, explained Luzzatto-Fegiz. But the discrepancy suggests there s something more going on than that, and figuring out what this is may be helpful for managing the virus.
