Viral technologies being developed around the world can kill the coronavirus and help open more indoor spaces.

Unlike imaginary vaccines, these technologies may actually work and don't require totalitarian policies.

Let's take a look!

Molecular-sized spikes of tiny antimicrobial agents can be added to desks, walls and other surfaces and rupture anything with a membrane that lands on them.

Pilot studies have shown such surfaces kill 95% of viruses and bacteria.

During a series of drug-resistant tuberculosis outbreaks in the 1980s, researchers found that placing UV lamps on the ceiling of large rooms effectively stopped transmission of the disease.

Adding UV lights to ventilation systems and ceilings can make even gyms safe to use.

New optical sensors can measure viral load in closed areas such as stations, offices and supermarkets, and trigger an alert when they detect coronavirus RNA.

The first coronavirus sensors are about to begin public trials in the next few months.
