COVID-19
 

Been listening to the "experts" discuss the COVID-19 outbreak.

Some suggest that as the weather gets warmer and humidity rises,
it will die out. The experts claim that the virus can travel further in
dry, cold weather which increases the risk of spreading.

But I just saw an updated global map and Australia has 33 confirmed
cases (about half that of the USA but with a population of only
24.6 million) and New Zealand has one.

Australia and New Zealand are in the latter months of their summer.
It's hot and humid.

You sound silly when you channel Trump.

This information did not come from Trump. It came from at two
different doctors who specialize in virus transmission.

What I found interesting was that it's not the heat or
humidity that actually affects the virus. It's the
more unlikely chance it will spread.

Reason is this:

If someone infected sneezes or coughs, the droplets will travel
further in dry, low humidity conditions. Cold weather (winter)
has low humidity conditions.

In the summer, with warmer weather the relative humidity rises
significantly. The droplets from a sneeze or cough cannot travel
as far in the air with higher relative humidity. In other words,
the air is denser in higher humidity conditions.

Even Trump couldn't dream this one up.

Last week Trump said the virus would go away when it got warm. This is
searchable.

I don't doubt that. I just didn't hear it from Trump.

However, I think there is something to the humidity thing because
even with the flu, it is typically seasonal and runs during the
colder, dryer winter months as it affects different areas of the
country. The flu is not anywhere near as common
to catch in the summer.

Think about it.

Anybody as successful as Trump knows how to listen.

Australia and New Zealand are like Florida for Chinese people. The
place was packed with them when we were there.

They always told us it just because people were cooped up together
inside in the winter. I do suspect that in direct sun, viruses don't
last as long. U/V and ozone are pretty tough stuff
