youd think something UV like what they use to clean CPAP masks or something would work

The Sterrad process, I assume.

You can use a wooden clip to hang them from your oven rack and bake them at 158° for 30 mins to decontaminate them as well.

Method 2. Also talks about NOT using UV

Also using isopropyl or other alcohols to clean theem removes the charge and results in vastly lower effectiveness.

As the pede below said: if you're going to reuse a mask, dry heat 150-160 for 30-60 minutes (and no higher otherwise the membrane in the mask gets damaged) is the best way to decon them.

This has been known for months, I wish I was surprised that the MSM has been fucky about the whole thing.

Also, viruses are vastly smaller than the wavelength of UV light. UV is around 280nm, a WuFlu viron is like 90-100nm. Would the UV light even affect them?

thats not how light works (electron gets excited which is wavelength dependent)
