Not sure how unique or novel this is as suggested from the article – but my point in showing it is to point out there is an engineering solution out of this mess – the inventors of the world need to go ahead and find ways to reduce viral load so we can move on with our lives. Perhaps Battery day announcement might include a way to reduce viral load so manufacturing facilities can stay open – Elon Musk saves the world? https://www.ndtv.com/telangana-news/telangana-innovator-m-narsimha-chary-creates-technology-that-kills-covid-19-within-15-seconds-using-uv-light-2298137

“"In the past, I have also developed a filament-less tube light. Looking at the state of the world under the impact of COVID-19, I developed a technology to neutralize and kill the virus within 15 seconds. With the coming of this pandemic, I decided to make a small contribution to this world, so I came up with an idea to neutralize and kill the coronavirus with the help of UV-C light," Mr Chary said.

"With support from TSIC and technical support from ARCI – International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials, this equipment has been developed and CSIR-CCMB provided me with a biological validation. At CSIR-CCMB, a test was conducted on the virus sample at 30 watts and 254 nano-meter range UV-C light, and the virus was placed 30 centimeters away from the UV-C light," Mr Chary said. He went on to explain that after this, the COVID-19 sample had been neutralized and killed within 15 seconds, along with many other harmful viruses and bacteria.

"I would like to make this equipment available for people from all classes of people and all walks of life. I request both the state and the central government of India to help me develop this and bring it to the reach of common people," he added.”

A great Sunday reporting day – US deaths only 227 – no one above 500. Huge confirmations number in the US 36.7K. DOES LOCKDOWN really work if confirmations just keep rising – or is it easy to say IF it wasn’t for lockdown it would be much more? As I have noted several times its not the stranger that is causing all these confirmations increases – it has been people you know therefore you spend indoor time with them then eventually viral load levels hit a point of infection. For you to get it from a stranger passing by in a large grocery store and you only spend less than an hour in the store with a mask on – the odds of reaching a level of infection is not likely very high.

Texas leads in confirmations and deaths for the US

LA county leads all the US counties in death 23. Over half of the confirmations increases all came from Bexar County (San Antonio) which has been a mess in terms of reporting (2581).

Big 4 counties are all trending down in deaths. Confirmations are down significantly from peak. If you are in LA or Maricopa and you meet with 10 people – very high chance that 1 of them has been confirmed with covid.

Madrid clearly is in a problem mode with death rising along with confirmations. England has the confirmation rising but death is slow to follow. Whereas NY has flat lined.
