Hong Kong has deployed robots to clean public areas in the wake of COVID-19. Developed in Hong Kong, the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) said their airport is the first in the world to use the sterilisation robots, which will roam around and sanitise various areas, including toilets. The airport will also introduce a 'full-body disinfection booth' for humans which perform a temperature check and "a 40-second disinfection and sanitising procedure".
Anyone else reminded of the Microbe Eliminator cleaning bot in WALL-E?

Speaking of skin, everybody knows that UV light is not good for the skin. It's why nail salons stopped using UV curing for nail glue, because the UV was found to accelerate aging of the hands' skin.
During my days of working on DUV photolithography, an accidental exposure to a beam (assuming the power-levels and rep rate didn't cook your arm on the spot) meant among other things that the exposure site should be monitored for cancerous activity.
Real boss niggers use UV + Ozone to remove all impurities from their samples and kill fucking everything on it. I've worked in an environment with a UV + Ozone gadget and while it is extremely effective, you need either a good fume hood or an ozone scrubber since ozone is not good for humans. Since we were working with Chink-style safety standards at the time, of course we had neither and I had plenty of irritating whiffs of ozone. Ozone smells similar to chlorine and some say that you can smell it when flying through thunderstorms in smaller aircraft.
