After being in US government service for 22 years, I know well, how slow moving  our leaders can be vs being proactive.  Hopefully with this petition YOU can help me to spur on the right people to help possibly save lives.  The science: There is a serious lack of development and public knowledge regarding using Ultraviolet light (Ultraviolet-C is the light spectrum that disables microbes) to wipe out the Covid19 corona virus.  After only 2 minutes of exposure to this UV-C light, the DNA of the virus is disabled and CANNOT spread.  The typical UV-C light bulb emits Ultraviolet light in the 254nm wavelength.  This light wavelength is great for disabling the viruses, but CANNOT be allowed to shine on people because it can damage their eyes and skin. You may be aware that some hospitals use this for room disinfection.  It can also be used mounted above the heads of people (7ft) so it will continually safely disinfect the air as it circulates in a room. 

In fact, there is a NEW UV-C  222nm light bulb, based on a Columbia University study, that is safe for human exposure, which can continuously disable all viruses and bacteria in rooms.  Think of how safe this could make medical facilities, or any public space. These is only one company developing this technology and possibly the US government could assist them in the development of this science to speed production.  Installation of these lights in public buildings will be critical in making public spaces much safer for people to go back into. 

My purpose with this petition is to get this technology into the public conversation and make our public leaders aware of this technology and in making it's use more widespread to save lives.  I hope you can join me in spreading awareness.  See this link for a the science of this 222nm bulb:  https://www.ushio.com/files/white-papers/ushio/care222-in-the-workplace-testing-effectiveness-of-long-range-surface-infection-prevention.pdf
