The article gives near-zero detail about the "technology".
What was the volume of air tested and flow rate? Does it use a fan or HVAC system?
It sounds like a rebranded UV light bulb that I can buy for 40 bucks and install in my HVAC receiver.
The “technology” raises the ambient room temperature to the 9,000 degrees and blasts the area with high doses of radiation and chlorine gas. Really effective against covid!
It is not hard to kill airborne/surface based viruses, especially COVID. Even low-tech things like a warm summer day with sunlight practically vaporizes it.
What is hard to kill is people’s irrational fear and extreme beliefs on its existence. Things like people washing their groceries might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen someone do when they thought they were being smart.
Best way to cure people’s irrational fear is to keep sharing good news like this. Let them voice their concerns and restate those concerns empathetically. After you’ve disarmed the negativity, give them a dose of positivity and hope.
Portuguese tech? Kill people to prevent them from getting infected! I just wish this was discovered in Évora so we could double the jokes...
Serious now. Nased on [this link](https://saudemais.tv/noticia/21550-covid-19-tecnologia-pioneira-inativa-num-minuto-mais-de-99-do-virus-no-ar) (in Portuguese) they're using UV on specific wavelengths to kill off the virus. The idea is rather good IMO, and it could be repurposed for water too.
