Adhesive Copper Tape
🔗https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.09.20033217v2
Copper tape could be used to cover surfaces which are regularly touched e.g. door push plates. Copper mesh could also be used to fabricate gloves with anti-viral properties.
- "No viable virus could be measured after 4 hours on copper for HCoV-19 [...] or after 24 hours on cardboard for HCoV-19"
- "HCoV-19 was most stable on plastic and stainless steel and viable virus could be detected up to 72 hours post application (Figure 1A), though the virus titer was greatly reduced"

Many companies and organisations will need to be able to disinfect packages being delivered to the elderly and others may be also need to take extra precautions. If there is a way to disinfect packages this will enable far less infections from deliveries.
The best way to do this would would be to model the same disinfectant used within the medical field when they go into a disinfecting room. They are sprayed in a mist of chlorine solution to kill any bacteria.

Build something like this as an open source platform: something like a modified 3d printer could be used to access e.g. 96-well plates to process lots of samples automatically
Elctrochemical potentiostat/readout can be done fairly cheap (parts <50 $) and it can be very sensitive and fast (minutes). Alternatively, single-use electrodes could be used (as with glucose meters). I’m currently working on the and have some prototypes running
