We are tired and worn out by the current situation, by the various measures and restrictions on individual freedoms and rights.  We lack a light at the end of the tunnel. We can see that politicians do not know what to do with the situation, are playing for time and are pinning all their hopes on vaccination alone, as if it were some kind of miracle that will solve the whole situation?

We all understand that it is necessary to take measures and protect ourselves and our loved ones from an infection that spreads very rapidly. Today, however, it can already be stated with certainty that the four pillars of prevention – hygiene, education, vaccination and pest control, enshrined in Act No. 258 Coll. on the protection of public health – have simply failed, and unfortunately, the more they fail, the harsher the measures that are imposed and the greater the burden that is placed on healthcare workers and society alike.

Without effective prevention, the fight against micro-organisms is hopeless!     

The only solution for ridding ourselves of the problem of the pandemic spread of dangerous virus strains, now and in the future, is to open up space for the mass use of the most advanced and effective technologies for preventing the transmission of infections. Unfortunately, the law makes no provision for them today. The way out of the crisis is to enshrine technological solutions in law as a single whole forming a load-bearing pillar of public health protection.      

Let technologies do the fighting for us, instead of turning our lives into a prison!

When we deploy technological solutions, as we can see from the graph, the reproduction number shrinks rapidly, and with each additional technology and modern technical means added, our safety increases – to the level at which no restrictive measures are needed at all.

The Integrated Prevention System (IPS) helps to effectively prevent pandemics.

Let’s defend ourselves!

With this system of measures there is no need to close schools, restaurants and cultural venues, or to restrict business. With the IPS we can live freely!

By way of example, we can compare the thousands of billions of damage caused by the current way of defending against viruses with an expert estimate of the direct costs of ensuring uninterrupted teaching – approximately CZK 2,500 plus administrative costs per pupil/student.

To ensure the smooth and safe operation of a school using the Integrated Prevention System (IPS) designed by the Czech Nanotechnology Industries Association, the amount stated covers the following:

• installation of intelligent photocatalytic antibacterial coatings that capture viruses on their surface and allow the energy of light to destroy them instantly (including a light activation system) – these photocatalytic coatings also remove disinfectant fumes
• treatment of contact surfaces with antibacterial silver to ensure sanitary properties
• 10 reusable nano face masks (following disinfection) for each pupil
• a UVC lamp continuously eliminating viruses and bacteria in the air during periods of danger and activating the coatings on the walls
• a photocatalytic air purifier and air-quality sensors for each classroom
• one additional IPS element as required (nanofiltration, etc.)

Less than 5 billion in direct costs is enough to resolve safe and uninterrupted school teaching, and other state institutions, healthcare, transport, banks, industry and the armed forces can be addressed in a similar way, so that everyone can carry out their social functions and create value without restriction.  

Only by using modern technologies can we defend ourselves against the further epidemics that will inevitably come in the age of genetic engineering.

 “We make the coatings, another Czech company makes the lights, the nano masks or the nanofilters. Together we hold something unique in our hands. Everything that is now needed is here at home – developed, proven in practice, patented, certified, and within a very short time it is able to meet all demand,” says Jan Procházka, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Czech Nanotechnology Industries Association.

The technologies of the 21st century will help us prevent pandemics, and prevention is always cheaper than dealing with the consequences and the long-term effects on health. 

Let’s follow the example of entrepreneurs who have invested considerable resources and decided to protect both their clients and their employees. On their premises they have put in place preventive measures against the transmission of infections using the most advanced technologies – for example the UKO guesthouse in Bedřichov, the ASTRA Srby hotel in the Kladno region, the Gemini eye clinic in Zlín, the HAMR sports centres and many, many others.   

So let’s protect our health and the health of our children with modern technologies, and not with house arrest – whether the law permits it or not.

So that we can all be together again, without a care.
