    "SO I found out why Aytu Bioscience's video explaining their new COVID19 UV Light treatment was pulled from YouTube and the Company temporarily suspended from Twitter. Ny Times Reporter Davey ALba flagged it as misinformation and had YouTube pull it. Her tweets both direct link and archive are below."
    The reporter's twit.
    https://twitter.com/daveyalba/status/1253817423406542849
    "I contacted YouTube about this video, which is being shared on tons of replies on Twitter & on Facebook, by people asserting that it backs up Trump's idea throwing it out there that UV rays kill coronavirus."
    The reddit link above has a link to an article in Nature. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-21058-w
    "We show for the first time that far-UVC efficiently inactivates airborne aerosolized viruses, with a very low dose of 2rCemJ/cm2 of 222-nm light inactivating >95% of aerosolized H1N1 influenza virus. Continuous very low dose-rate far-UVC light in indoor public locations is a promising, safe and inexpensive tool to reduce the spread of airborne-mediated microbial diseases."
    They're trying to keep it out of the blood supply. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17002634/
    "Conclusion: Heat, UVC irradiation, and S/D treatments effectively inactivate SARS-CoV, whereas octanoic acid treatment is insufficient for inactivation of the virus."
    And again, from the reddit link above,
    "But best of all was Davey Alba archiving and retweeting a tweet about UV Blood Irradiation. The person who made the tweet was giving incorrect information, but the procedure is real. Blood is removed from the body and irradiated with UV-C light not only to disinfect by disabling bacteria, but also bolstering an immune response. Below is the link to the National Institute of Health's article on it. Instead of correcting the person who originally made the tweet, Alba decided personally it was all fake news and needed to be pointed out as misinformation. Alba can't do a 5min google search of the National Institute of Health on UV Blood Irradiation. Aytu Bioscience got thrown in with everything else."
    Since this group is somewhat related to legal issues, I wonder if Aytu can sue Alba.
    And if that stuff can work externally to disinfect, could it somehow be injected into body? You'd need medical doctors for that.

    All these examples deal with UV on the outside. That is known: UV kills the virus. Now do you know the complex structure of lungs, that you suffocate/ drown from covid? How do you get UV down into all those tiny sacs in the lungs? Trump is only your god, not mine.

    Thor is my god. I'm willing to admit I don't know things. Your question is essentially the one that Trump was asking. Nice to see the two of you thinking alike. There is hope for you yet.
    While those links are for external use, one of them was for use on blood products.
    I think this is the thing the NYT reporter got removed from YT. I would really like to know why.
    https://irdirect.net/prviewer/release/id/4302840
    "Company has Partnered with Sterling Medical to Finalize the Development of Cedars-Sinai-Developed 'Healight' Medical Device for Use in Patients with Coronavirus"
    "Following their pre-clinical findings that Healight may be a safe and effective antiviral and antibacterial treatment, the team engaged Sterling to rapidly develop a novel endotracheal device to help combat coronavirus."
    True, that's not the lungs, but still, why would a reporter want that removed? Personally, I think Trump was speculating, and there's nothing wrong with that. It seems to have been used on lungs before transplant. https://www.jhltonline.org/article/S1053-2498%2819%2930118-4/abstract
    And... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-27/trump-s-uv-light-claim-derided-colorado-firm-sees-opportunity
    "A Twitter representative said the Aytu account was mistakenly caught in a spam filter and that it has since been reinstated."
    So it might not work. It might not be real. But is it wrong to think about it? To want to test it? Why?
