1. An airborne virus protection and disinfection (AIRVPD) device comprising
(a) a housing comprising a first opening and a second opening distal from the first opening, wherein the housing forms an enclosed passageway between the first opening and the second opening capable of channeling a flow of air from the first opening to the second opening;
(b) a pair of electrodes located within the enclosed passageway, wherein the pair of electrodes comprises a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the second electrode is spaced apart from, and proximal to, the first electrode, wherein the pair of electrodes forms an electrode fluid path between the pair of electrodes capable of channeling a flow of air between the pair of electrodes received from the first opening toward the second opening; and
(c) a sponge-like material located within the enclosed passageway between the first opening and the second opening, wherein the sponge-like material is capable of becoming impregnated with an antimicrobial substance, wherein the sponge-like material is arranged within the enclosed passageway such that at least a portion of the enclosed passageway forms a channel comprising the sponge-like material, wherein the portion of the enclosed passageway is capable of channeling a flow of air from the first opening to the second opening contacting the sponge-like material without passing through the sponge-like material.
