The process by which these funds get delivered, appropriated is unknown. Understandably. We hope someone really smart is sorting this out, because it is complex. This could be the most complex government initiative in history. The Manhattan project (to build the nuclear bomb) was simple in comparison.

By Robert Cassidy on January 22, 2021 Containment, Germ Secure Tech, Germ Security, NEWS

With many countries, such as England and Germany, choosing to re-impose stringent lockdowns amidst a third wave of coronavirus infections, the incentive for businesses to find alternative ways to continue operating is higher than ever. Given that mask-wearing and social distancing are less viable in winter temperatures, the question of indoor air purification presents itself as an enticing offer for businesses that typically rely on crowded indoor spaces, which carry a high risk for the spread of COVID-19 through aerosolization and direct contact.
