I agree and have thought that a daycare that leans into these measures would be great. The economic benefit alone of minimizing sick days that parents must take to care for sick children would be huge.
One small comment about the Ryan C. W. (2023) article on the 1940s data is that it is referencing upper room Germicidal Ultraviolet Light (GUV) which is about 254nm light and not far-UVC which is 222nm. GUV could be used in a daycare setting in the modern day, however, it would require specific infrastructure that far-UVC probably would not need (the CDCmentions a minimum of 8 foot ceilings).

Another site that has some good far-UVC resources is @jefftk’s site https://www.faruvc.org/.
