Updated: 12:49 PM PST January 25, 2021 Researchers are continuing to expand their understanding of the role that weather elements such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation play in the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The seasonality of the virus remains an important puzzle to piece together for researchers, as an environmental effect could help better understand the spread patterns of the virus and inform local public health responses alongside other mechanisms, like vaccination. "We are confident of the UV effect, but this is only one piece of the full seasonality picture," lead ...

https://www.afinalwarning.com/483243.html (Natural News) Increasing ultraviolet (UV) levels in the environment can decrease the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), reports a new a study published in the journal  PNAS. According to its authors, this suggests that the disease has a seasonal pattern (like all other coronaviruses), and understanding this pattern could help improve global response to the pandemic. They remained politically correct, making sure to note that this observed influence of UV seasonality is modest when compared with social distancing policies and other prev...

Housing and Development Newsletter The team found evidence that a location’s UV exposure significantly affects COVID-19 transmission. A change in UV exposure by 1 standard deviation (roughly equal to the difference in UV between May and June in Los Angeles) reduced the growth rate of new cases by around 1 percentage point over the following two weeks. That could bring down COVID-19 growth rates from an average daily increase at the beginning of the epidemic of 13% to a 12% increase per day. Based on the expected seasonal changes in UV radiation, the model predicted growth rates would increa...

Berlin researchers develop UVC LEDs to fight coronaviruses In the joint CORSA project, SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses on surfaces and skin are to be deactivated by using UVC light. The project team is developing special UVC LEDs for this purpose and is investigating parameters such as wavelengths, irradiation doses and virus habitats. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is supporting the three-year project from 2021 with a total of three million euros. Like bacteria and fungi, viruses can be inactivated by UVC light. However, for the current coronavirus, no reliabl...
