Jon, agreed, although before all this I would often tell myself "Eh, it's good to be exposed to the natural germ build up on my phone." I would go many months without wiping down my phone (or keys, cards, etc). Now I wipe them all down whenever I go to the grocery store (2x a month).

Well, for most people it is healthy to keep the immune system busy. This right now is a special situation, but in general there is such a thing as too much hygiene, at least if you believe the "hygiene hypothesis", which states that too much hygiene causes allergies etc (but from what I understand the science on that isn't settled).

Does UV light actually work against the virus? What are the limitations? (How long does it have to be on, what about material that has a lot of stringy fibers, will it work on N95 masks, etc.?)

They’re very careful with their language around Coronavirus since it hasn’t been specifically tested but they talk about this being 99.9% effective against other viruses with similar lipid casings.

This does 10 minutes, I don’t know the wattage. UV-C.

Word, thanks.

This particular device wouldn’t do an N95, unless you can flatten them out. It’s not deep enough

Yeah, I saw from the photos. Still, I ordered one. It seems it'll do keys, phones, and other masks, no problem.

FLATTEN THE CURVE, BRO

What kind of back order did they have?

I went to eBay and overpaid for an unopened one.

This is what my daughter is wearing in the Emergency Department now. I saw it on Amazon yesterday, it is not there today.

Same. I ordered two; one for my folks. Overpaid by about 10% for both.

[jon-nyc]

only 10% for UNopened box? That's much better than I did.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah they've come down since I ordered mine. People see light at the end of the tunnel

Yeah, but they're pink and some other crazyass color.

[jon-nyc]

I got a sleek white one.

But I paid 215. I didn't care. I saw the knockoffs on Amazon and they looked worse than fake. It was either burn masks (themselves bought dearly on eBay) or buy the thing.
