Electrostatics and viral RNA

24 Mar 2020

Has anyone looked into the effects of statically charging someone upon entering a room with a Tesla coil. The weak electrostatic recombinant nature of viral RNA of the virus on the surface of the individual and their clothing could not withstand the supercharged state of the surface of the individual and the clothes they are wearing.

Cold plasma and UV-C radiation indeed do their jobs, recently WHO has finally confirmed that nCoV is'nt airborne. Hence, more solutions need to be explored or need to modify the existing designs. Sometimes, it's wise to think from the perspective of Science rather than technology.
Proposed solution: To reverse the 'phage'- action for similar situation.
