How can Thai people afford UV-C sterilisers? Most of them can’t even afford N95 masks.

bigclivedotcom is an interesting resource, behind understanding/respecting UV-C

So why dont people use sunbeds to kill the virus,

If you're referring to the "solarium" type of cancer igniting devices that have been banned in many countries, they use UV-A and B, not C : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12511047

Sherm, you need N95 for real protection.

Understood, but for day to day use I find the surgical mask OK. I'll use the N95 if I'm on the airplane or for some reason need to be in a place with mass gatherings., like the immigration. N95 cost about 19 USD for 10pcs, you can get Surgical masks for 100pcs for about 35 USD. It's a crime that they are so expensive.

I use an ozone genterator to steralize my mask.

It does attach the rubber strap though

My mask is a P100 mask

 

I dont know if it damages the filters to be honest. I believe it doesnt as a test i exposed one to highly concentrated ozone for an hour and opened it. It seemed to be intact.

 

ozone is a poison. this should be done outdoors . put the hose from ozone generator into a semi sealed box with the filters
