This method is already in use to disinfect the air and hard surfaces in biolabs and hospitals. Putting it into the hands of the population after positive testing for efficacy will do nothing but help.
The Lugansk Method
Until a vaccine is found, people experienced in other disciplines need to step up and think outside the box. Engineers, industrial hygienists, hazardous environment professionals, chemists, and even nuclear decontamination professionals all have expertise they can bring to bear on mitigation of airborne particulates.
It will make a big difference for cutting the curve on the virus and give medical professionals a little room to work the real problem if other disciplines attack it as a particulate issue.
A best practices example of this would be calling on the asbestos abatement industry to set up commercial HEPA filter banks to clear the air at hospitals and essential government buildings. Standard practice for the industry is to provide complete air changes on an entire floor of a large building every 15 minutes.
What I've outlined above was conceived in the Donbass war zone. That's why I call it the Lugansk Method for taking COVID-19 particles out of the air. If new out of the box ideas are coming from Lugansk People's Republic and Donetsk People's Republic that have the possibility of saving life and making it bearable for the rest of the world during this crisis, think about what professionals can do without the additional stresses on them the war provides.
