No,it's an internet rumor that has been floating around.
It's completely false.
Myth: Ultraviolet lamps kill the COVID-19 virus.
Fact: No, UV lamps do not sterilize hands or skins areas, and can actually cause irritation.

Health officials are recommending that you wash your hands for 30 seconds with soap and water. And wash them frequently.

You should only use hand sanitizer only if you do not have access to soap and water.

Avoid buffet lunch and dinner restaurants also.

I'm still going to operate my business, still gonna drive my cars and still plan on riding my motorcycle through the Rockies again this summer. Oh, and I am well stocked on 9mm and .45 ACP in any eventuality that someone comes looking for my last roll of toilet paper. (Facts are, I will likely run out of toilet paper, but having lived for 54 years, I've pretty much learned how to wash my a$$ with soap and water)

As long as there's coffee to brew and air to breathe, I'm gonna go on living.

Nuff said!

Can someone with a health background explain something to me? The common flu kills 250,000 to 500,000 people worldwide and 36,000 people in the US annually. Pretty much every four years for the last 20 plus years we have had a major viral outbreak similar to this virus but it just seems this one they are going overboard with it. Why is this virus any different than any of the last 10 we have had and correct me if I am wrong, they are all pretty much similar in fatalities to the common flu or oddly enough even much less. I am beginning to believe this is just another way for the media to gain viewership and ratings. The last bad virus was the H1N1 virus and that 'only' killed 12,500 people in the US in a year which is 1/3 what the common flu kills every year. What am I missing here????

The difference between the flu and the virus is that the virus is looked upon by some as something that will get them their political results. More people died from the flu in the us today, than have been killed by the virus in total . Craziest part is people will pay 500.00 for clorox to combat the virus , but wont get a free flu shot to combat the flu .

this is from an article on coronavirus

"the global case fatality rate for the coronavirus is believed to be about 3.4 percent"

“By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1 percent of those infected,”

“You know, the risk is this: We have a brand-new virus in a completely naive population on Earth; we’re all susceptible to it. Everyone is potentially infectable with this virus,” said Christopher Mores, a global health professor at George Washington University. “Even with a high transmission rate and the low case fatality rate, that still becomes a massive number of ill and fatal cases.”

The oil/ gas adds to the hysteria. I woke up today to watch my net worth drop again because of all the fake news widespread loss of common sense. Sheesh may have to go get a job or sell some cars
