It is recommended to install these machines so obviously it will be safe.

No.


Whether it even has a chance to deactivate viruses on the person and his clothes depends on what is in the fumigation. Honestly it probably doesn’t either way (even things that do kill germs usually require constant contact for at least a minute not a haphazard mist for a few seconds - search for a video of how skin is sterilized before surgery to see the real process). If the chemical is really strong enough to deactivate the viruses then you certainly wouldn’t want it in your eyes, nose, or mouth. And if it is really strong enough to kill the viruses it would also risk killing all the good bacteria that live on your skin risking a whole new set of problems.


Regardless, let’s assume that the mist does in fact deactivate every single virus particle on this person...so what? It wouldn’t cure him if he has it or protect him if he’s exposed. If he has the virus his very next breath out may release thousands of active virus particles into the air. If he doesn’t have the virus his very next breath in may seed his nasopharynx with active viral particles if he is exposed.


Looks like a way to make money by helping rich people feel better.

Here is a media summary of WHO’s recommendations https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/05/17/world/science-health-world/spraying-disinfectants-coronavirus-harmful/


It says in part “chemical spraying is unlikely to adequately cover all surfaces for the duration of the required contact time needed to inactivate pathogens.”

Stresses that spraying individuals with disinfectants is “not recommended under any circumstances.”

“...and would not reduce an infected person’s ability to spread the virus through droplets or contact.”

somewhere i had read that to kill the virus one needs to poke the outer protein layer of the virus, which is protecting the fat nuclei inside...... and for that protein layer to break, we need foam or something similar to be rubbed for atleast 20 seconds........... so accordingly, if this spray is being rubbed or not, that will decide if the protein layer breaks.......... that also if it has alcohol of 70% or above......else it needs foam..
