I have told some of you that I am starting a new business revolving around ultraviolet LED-based disinfection robots.

I would like to start a new trend to counteract the disgusting trend toward self-loathing that became so pervasive on the news this week and turn it toward an Objectivist perspective.

I am soliciting your feedback on the following.

#Your life matters.
We are creating value for you with our UV-based disinfection products so that you can have confident assurance of your health and safety. It is your responsibility to be your own keeper.

#Our lives matter. We will not sacrifice ourselves on the altar "for the greater good". Like you, we must make a living. We operate on the principle of value for value exchange. We provide you the best product we can make to improve your life, and in exchange, we expect fair compensation for our effort. We will not work for free. During this startup phase, however, we will allow you to beta test our product, with the expectation that you will provide critical customer feedback so that together, we can make our product the best that it can be.

    Thank you for helping me refine our sales pitch down to the following.

    Are you or a family member constantly getting sick? Does it take a lot longer to get over illnesses than most people? Are you asthmatic, have many allergies, or very intense allergic responses? You are not alone. Millions of people around the world are experiencing these exact same health challenges. Today Chem-Free Solutions has a solution.

    You should consider using our ultraviolet light-based disinfection products. Our products will include sterilizer boxes, floor-cleaning disinfection robots, and heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) solutions that, unlike our competition, create value for you by providing visual and/or spectroscopic evidence that your reusable masks and lab coats, your floors, the food you eat, and the air you breathe are truly CLEAN.

    How can this be possible? Iā€™m glad you asked. While our competition uses a single ultraviolet wavelength (253.7 nm) that deactivates most viruses and bacteria, almost everyone knows someone who, like my mother, acquired an infection at a hospital, medical center, or assisted-living facility. Chem-Free Solutions uses a range of wavelengths that have been documented to disrupt the metabolic and protein functions of ALL pathogens, giving our products a built-in redundancy of weaponry with which to vanquish our viral and bacterial foes. Simply put ā€“ it works! Check out our website and line of products TODAY! We are happy to answer any of your questions ā€“ simply contact us at http://www.chem-freesolutions.com.

    Thank you, Katrina41!
    If Mr. Thompson doesn't understand, then perhaps I can fly under the radar.

    Mr.Thompson won't understand. Those of us not following Mr.Thompson may disagree on the content, but the idea is sound and the execution looks good. I'm not a marketing expert, nor am I a chaired scientist, but I do like what I read. Thank you jbrenner.

    My company is not going after the "cheaper is better" portion of the market. We are going after customers who are willing to pay to add assurance that their living environment is as safe as humanly possible (and be able to validate that for themselves). It is overkill, but it will pay for (pave the way) toward my turning the company into a tissue engineering (organ) company.

    UV devise that you're planning on producing are an excellent concept. Not only in regards to Covid19 mitigation such devises could to used in short term after hospital care facilities (my wife who is an RN works in such a facility). Also, in an affordable version for in home use where you have individual with compromised immune systems, ie, cancer patients undergoing chemo. My brothers wife has breast cancer and is under going chemo: he has installed UV units in a number of air ducts of his home HVAC system. He put UV commercial floor towers in the bedroom and main living areas. My brother who is a retired industrial engineer fabricated a cellphone UV box to sterilized their cellphones after use. It seems a little over kill but if I was in his situation I would probably do the same.

    "...disgusted..." Probably the best word from my point of view as well. A lot of younger people around me vote "D" and spew the leftist mantra as though it were gospel and are clueless as to it's Marxist roots. I tell them what I think, but the future is theirs according to their votes and since I likely have 15 or 20 years to go I ask can you hold off on converting the USA into Venezuela until after I'm dead?

    Thanks MCC. My intent was to take nothing away from the OPs original discussion but to shed some light on the current shape of things as I see them. Did Russia really interfer? Was there any real reason to impeach PDJT? Was/is the China virus just a planned pandemic designed to be set out upon this world by China to advance their world takeover? Are the scientists giving us real data and the best info or are they just winging it from their own political slant? Maybe we should just eliminate all the police and hope we all have enough ammo and can trust our elected leaders to do the right things to keep America Great. I am actually very disgusted right now and hope some day soon all these young people can decide if they are male, female or ailiens.

    It seems you had a wonderful and healthy day that, in the end, blocked out the prevailing fog of the airwaves and opened up a clarity of mind from which you shared words of wisdom for the rest of us to enjoy! Thanks!

    Funny but sad observation: NO ONE at connecticut Hospice has had the chinese virus (showing symptoms), which is amazing because 1/2 the staff would be considered vulnerable with pre existing conditions.

    Even more amazing, even the so called Covid patients we got from yale...didn't have covid 19 when we tested them.

    Makes one want to go...Hmm!

    Just my 2 cents. Our skin is full of HELPFUL bacteria. I am NOT comfortable with the LEDs aimed at my face inside the mask.

    But indirect lighting where the light shines mostly on the material of the mask. NICE.

    Suggestion that it be an N95 Holder of sorts, so users could change the masks out (not sure your design).

    Good Idea, and Good Luck.

    I have done a thorough literature review of which wavelength ranges kill which pathogens by destroying which protein structures. There is a reason why my company uses multiple wavelengths instead of the one wavelength that everyone else uses. It costs more, but how much are you willing to pay to know that clean is truly clean.

    Not to downplay any of the research here but UV light is pretty much available for free whenever the sun shines. I was out fishing today in bright sunlight and got a mild OD of UV rays. As an added bonus I got a few nice trout that also provide a fair dose of Omega3 also pretty good for me. Another added bonus is I got my ass off the couch for some exercise also claimed to be good for me. Another bonus was I never once donned any kind of a face mask and instead I was breathing nice fresh air for most of the day. On the down side of all of this I might have to do a deep Tick check so I don't get Lyme Disease and I might have to wash some of this all down with a nice wine or some other adult beverage. I never did see a protester or looter where I was but I did see some deer, bears, eagles and lots of other critters who simply don't give a $hit about any of this Fake News of the day. I did have a Glock 40 just on the outside chance I ran into some issue that required some form of intervention but all in all the day was pretty much worry free. I have always practiced Social Distancing not as a rule but as a way of life because I like my dog better than most people I am forced to interact with. I sure do wish we all could depend on the Science behind what is facing us but as we all have seen even the science has a political bend that may or may not be guiding us in the right direction. We have a system where we get to elect those we cose to lead us but all too often we fail to elect real leaders. When we do get it RIGHT there are far too many who refuse to accept the will of the people and those are the ones we all need to shun and silence. In the grand scheme of things we must divide in order to conquer and there are far too many seeking the division these days and far too many drinking all the Kool Aid. Like anything, all things are good in moderation but UV light is free if you know where to find it and how to enjoy it safely. Our world is changing right before our eyes but it always has and always will so just roll with the punches and punch back when necessary. I don't have any need to Protest and I don't have any desire to fix what I can't fix. The thought of disinfectants in this world we are living in is way too deep to even contemplate except that we continually rely upon others, mostly incompetents, to do the fixing. When the right says it is a nice day the left says it is too hot, too sunny or too some other BS negative. Ayn Rand saw this all through wide open eyes and a simple but extremely deep vision of what our world is all about.

    Shorter wave lengths break up the virus at the DNA level, if I understand that correctly...see the paper I posted

    Doesn't seem like more energetic UV would be less harmful than less energetic UV?
    Perhaps less short wave UV makes it through the atmosphere making the risk less. But for irradiating surfaces, the long wave UV would be less harmful to skin and eyes but protection should be worn if exposed.

    200-225 is less harmful to humans than 254 nm, but both are harmful to skin and eyes.

    "...207 to 222nm is best, it's a shorter wave length and kills viruses, germs and pathogens almost instantly. It does not harm the eyes nor the skin like what so many UV systems use: ..."

    You might want to revise that a little. The shorter the wavelength the more harmful. All of the wave lengths you list are very harmful to skin and eyes.
