A firm called “AeroClave” (like in autoclave) is promoting system of desinfection of airplanes quick and hot.. They seme to have a hot air system that kills the H5N1 among others. This is similar to the proposal of using hot air fans to clean the air in a room, but their system quick boils the entire interior of the planes.
An example of technology not awailable in 1918. So what temperatures are needed, and for how long?, this is so much better than bleacing your clothes.. just steam boil instead? what about those steam cleaners.. usefull for smaller objects?
They also claim they can qiuckly desinfect anything large in short time, like ambulances etc. And also provides systems for making any kind of bulding into emergency hospitals (seems that someone else has to provide the beds, manpower and medicines….).. On their web they are putting up some scenarios with pandemic.

Whether establishing a medical overflow facility during a pandemic or supporting critical infrastructure operations after an earthquake or hurricane,” http://www.aeroclave.com/pages/home/
