I nave a UV C disenfection unit, it has 8 uv-c lamps and runs a ten minute disenfection cycle. It large enough I put in keys, wallet, mask, cell phone, etc.
Your cell phone is a very often touched device
UV C is very effective at king pathogens it destroys the dna.
Where I worked the water system had 3 ten millon gallon per day uv c reactors, they are used with chlorine, chlorine kills bacteria, uv c kills viruses.
My disenfection unit is a home soap, made by phone soap.

Fulthrotl's system disinfects a whole room. But you can't be in it!

something new.....

removes all pathogens in upper air in rooms, so with adquate
air circulation, removes all pathogens from a room. (cooties, and such)

It's not like your system that "irradiates" a room with UV C. I think it's a good idea but it needs to have air circulated through it.

Lots of "entrepreneurs" coming out of the woodwork trying to take advantage of this situation and make a fortune. It doesn't make sense to commit any money for any kind of permanent installation when it won't be needed in another few months.
