Heat and humidity DOES slow spread of the C virus

Thailand is hot and humid. C-virus is flourishing. Everything, including the massage joints, brothels, gogo bars, and cockfighting arenas, all closed.

It has only 827 detected cases and 4 deaths (less than .5% of detected). They're overreacting big time.

Panama City Panama has been over 90 degrees every day this month and has 345 confirmed cases. The virus might spread more slowly in hot weather, but it can still spread.

Humans are 98.6°F inside. 86°F doesn't seem like the magic number they're trying to make it out to be.

Philippines has 550 cases. That’s 0.0001% of the population, or 1 out of every 200,000 people

"Why is Florida exploding right now C-Virus? It's 82-degrees and most cases in a single day in America. "

Because it may not be just the warm weather. It might be the angle of the sun, which is still low this time of year. High sun angle = more UV which will neutralize the virus.

All of this shackling of rams. It’s a really a palaver.

remember when you said that about the US like 2 weeks ago and now we are losing 1,000 people a week?

maybe....shut up?

Umm. 775 total fatalities to date in the US.

I'm not the guy replied to, but Worldometer is showing deaths in the US going from 46 to 111 to 140 the last three days, and 775-553=222 so far today. That's certainly a rate of more than 1,000 per week.

By the end of the month, we'll be at more than 2,600 deaths per week. Bad Wigins was predicting not that many cases total by then, much less deaths, and much, much less deaths per week.

A study from China and Trump backs it up????? That's all I need. Count me in as a true believer!!!!!!

Fair enough. I get your drift. Although it’s a bit sensationalistic to make 1,000 per week the headline when we haven’t even hit 800 in 3 weeks of tracking.

We probably hit 1k per week at some point. I don’t know what peak will be, and I’m not going to speculate

The Spanish Flu first appeared in March, and spread rapidly in April and May. It wound down in the summer and by August is was mostly gone. But then it mutated. The second wave was much more virulent and and peaked in October. We should take that pandemic as a warning.

At some point? If you don't want to look at current rate (daily rate of 225 today multiplied by 7 is 1,575), and look at the sum of the last 7 days, it's already 669. Tomorrow, the sum of the last 7 days will have 41 drop out and be replaced with something likely higher than 225. In two days, we will hit your 1k per past week mark.

Don't be so sure. The busiest international route in the world is between KUL and SIN.

Sorry, I was thinking of tropical climate countries not undeveloped countries. But the point is that this virus has spread throughout SE Asia.

ummmm....yeah...500 in last3 days........we'd have to slow down to only have 1,000 in a week.

No, it's not. That pathetic beta said specifically "we are losing 1000 people a week." That's not a prediction, it's a claim about the present, and it's false.

And it's just hilarious how many betas are out there nitpicking on one little thing from a few weeks ago, like it can somehow prove me wrong about everything and dispel all the inconvenient facts they themselves are dead wrong to ignore. Such as flu has been killing 1000 people a week all year. Annoying, yes, but hilarious, even flattering. Look how many people think they can win this whole debate by beating me. Obviously I'm top dog here.

Don't want to admit it? Then try not to respond.

Trump is a make up wearing beta.

Errr...hold on a moment. There have been four deaths in Thailand so far and only 934 confirmed cases. You're begging the question here. Every country is imposing lockdowns. The question is whether hotter countries need to do so.

Why Milan, Madrid, Paris, London, New York? Why not Athens, Seville, Miami, Sydney etc etc.?

Look at this map of the outbreak in Spain over the last two weeks. A temperature map of Spain in the last two weeks would be almost identical. Over 1 in 1,000 confirmed infected in Madrid, less than 1 in 100,000 confirmed infected in the whole of Andalucia, despite thousands of Madrid residents no doubt fleeing to their holiday homes in the south.
