The original post is in Hebrew, I hope you manage, but the gist is simple — since summer we’ve started receiving reports from the Southern Hemisphere of almost-if-not-completely eradicated flu. Yeap, in less than one year the flu was completely gone in Australia, New Zealand, and others.

Ok, everyone said just wait, it might be a fluke. Let’s see what happens in the norther hemisphere. Alrighty, it’s Christmas, the peak of flu … See More.

Good. Are you ready?

No flu this year.

It turns out that the flu and corona data have been connected together starting March of this year (Watt? Ok… let… See More.

LED lights found to kill coronavirus: Global first in fight against COVID-19 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2020/12/led-lights-found-to-kill-coronavirus-global-first-in-fight-against-covid-19 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 01:25:19 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2020/12/led-lights-found-to-kill-coronavirus-global-first-in-fight-against-covid-19

Am I reading this wrong? Sunelight is literally a cure / weapon against corona? Or am I missing something / making an incorrect logical link?


Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have proven that the coronavirus can be killed efficiently, quickly, and cheaply using ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs). They believe that the UV-LED technology will soon be available for private and commercial use.

This is the first study conducted on the disinfection efficiency of UV-LED irradiation at different wavelengths or frequencies on a virus from the family of coronaviruses. The study was led by Professor Hadas Mamane, Head of the Environmental Engineering Program at TAU’s School of Mechnical Engineering, Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering. The article was published in November 2020 issue of the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology.

“The entire world is currently looking for effective solutions to disinfect the coronavirus,” said Professor Mamane. “The problem is that in order to disinfect a bus, train, sports hall, or plane by chemical spraying, you need physical manpower, and in order for the spraying to be effective, you have to give the chemical time to act on the surface. Disinfection systems based on LED bulbs, however, can be installed in the ventilation system and air conditioner, for example, and sterilize the air sucked in and then emitted into the room.

We are approaching the fastest, deepest, most consequential technological disruption in history https://lifeboat.com/blog/2020/10/we-are-approaching-the-fastest-deepest-most-consequential-technological-disruption-in-history Tue, 06 Oct 2020 09:25:07 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2020/10/we-are-approaching-the-fastest-deepest-most-consequential-technological-disruption-in-history

The next decade is going to be a transforming decade as many many technologies (some of which we all like to share in this group) are converging and maturing enough to rearrange our society in almost any aspect we can conceive.

I’m calling to those who are interested in creating and implementing an alternative model for the current social and governance systems, let’s build an open state that we can all support and trust regardless of our age, sex, geographical location, or belief system.

In the next 10 years, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectors—information, energy, food, transportation, and materials—that underpin our global economy. We need to make sure the disruption benefits everyone.

What started as a dream more than 10 years ago, has finally become reality. After more than 2 years of work, dozen of failures, hundreds of hours of lab work and design time, we’ve finally done it. We’ve engineered a strain of yeast that produce real spider silk! This video explains how.
