Any scientists on board today? Or even pigeons wanting to mingle amongst the cats?

In my paper today, on one of the public health pages, a footnote appears – all of 2 column inches – almost as a tossaway afterthought.

Scientists at Tel Aviv University have found that 99.9% of corona-viruses on surfaces can be destroyed in 30 seconds by a light wavelength of 285 nanometers. I had to read that three times when I saw it.

Apparently that wavelength is commonly found in LED lightbulbs. They say more research is needed. I don’t know if it has been peer-reviewed, but a quick search for population vaccination figures has Israel in an interesting position.

That is beginning to look like a rather large spanner emerging from the works. Can anybody else throw some light on this?
