    Has anyone from Vox has ever… Been outside before?

    Here’s are some fun UV facts:
    Too much ultraviolet radiation (UV) from sunlight is dangerous.
    Nearly half of UV radiation is received between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are the strongest.
    Even on a cloudy day, you can be sunburned by UV radiation.

      Theres a new thing where you distinguish different kinds of UV radiation, apparently some are not that dangerous to humans but would still be effective against bacteria.

      However I cannot say if its legit or not since I didn’t read much around it just saying this for awareness.

        Oh I know. I skimmed the video a little, it just sounds like one of those hot new things someone with investment money sent to them so they “reported” on it.

      Every hospital I’ve been to has these lamps in various places in the hallways like on the way into the ICU. Stop your ignorant fear mongering.

      “Oh, I skimmed the video, but I don’t trust science, so I’m going to question the intelligence of everyone involved with this website because I don’t believe anyone else but me knows anything about UV light. Here are some irrelevant facts…”

      Willfully ignorant people like you make me so angry. Especially when they spread their ignorant horseshit like they’re so fucking smart. As if we don’t ALL know about the dangers of long exposure to sunlight. Appropriate UV lamps for killing viruses do not equal sunlight!

        Willfully ignorant? You’re sure reading a lot into OP’s reply that he didn’t say.

          Merely skimming a video which explained all of the details in the first 3 minutes–addressing everything their comment complained about–just so they can say things that make no sense if you had spent 3 fucking minutes watching the video!

          (They said they only skimmed it in a separate comment.)

          That is what I call willful ignorance. That’s what’s wrong with social media today. People comment nonsense without knowing anything about what they’re commenting on. Then other people read the stupid comments and upvote it, also without watching the video, and that’s all they walk away with. “LOL Vox is dumb!”

          And when they get called out, people like you defend them. And you probably didn’t even watch the video either!

          Yes! Willful ignorance all around. That’s exactly what it is.

        Oh, I skimmed the video, but I don’t trust science.

        Ok buddy. You go on with your little fantasy argument you’ve got going here. Have fun.
