- minimizing impact of infection (home treatment / how to monitor yourself and determine whether to go to hospital and what records to keep to help guide early treatment (e.g. historical readings for temperature, blood
- pull videos from “Nurse John”
- measure / write down blood pressure, pulse oxygen, heart rate, respiration rate; other significant symptoms) ICU treatment (these are to help people understand options and decisions they may be faced with for a loved one)
- protocols for hospital treatment (these are to understand what may happen if you are hospitalized) and ICU

- From the abstract “far-UVC light (207–222?nm) efficiently inactivates bacteria without harm to exposed mammalian skin. This is because, due to its strong absorbance in biological materials, far-UVC light cannot penetrate even the outer (non living) layers of human skin or eye; however, because bacteria and viruses are of micrometer or smaller dimensions, far-UVC can penetrate and inactivate them. We show for the first time that far-UVC efficiently inactivates airborne aerosolized viruses, with a very low dose of 2?mJ/cm2 of 222-nm light inactivating >95% of aerosolized H1N1 influenza virus. Continuous very low dose-rate far-UVC light in indoor public locations is a promising, safe and inexpensive tool to reduce the spread of airborne-mediated microbial diseases.”
