New study says 'high temperature and high relative humidity significantly reduce' spread of COVID-19

Mark Puleo, AccuWeather�March 18, 2020

A team of researchers unveiled the results of a new study last week that looked at how temperature and humidity may affect the transmission of COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus.

According to the researchers' findings, "High temperature and high relative humidity significantly reduce the transmission of COVID-19." An increase of just one degree Celsius and 1% relative humidity increase substantially lower the virus's transmission, according to the data analyzed by the researchers.

The study is the latest in a limited but growing body of research, not all of which has been peer-reviewed, that examines the effect of weather on the spread of the SARS-Cov-2 virus, which causes the COVID-19 illness.

The researchers studied 100 different Chinese cities that each had more than 40 cases of COVID-19 from Jan. 21 to 23. According to AccuWeather Senior Weather Editor and Meteorologist Jesse Ferrell, the decision to study transmission on those dates was critical because that time period was before China intervened on Jan. 24 to stop the spread of the virus. Analyzing that timeframe allowed researchers to observe the natural spread of the virus before public health measures, which have since helped reduce the spread drastically in China, were implemented.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

This why Australia (in the middle of summer right now) has no significant nubers of people catching the Kung Flu bug.

You can't fix stupid.

Maybe I should move back to New Orleans.

I'll eat better and stay healthy to boot.

And my doctor said it couldn't be done!

Australia (and New Zealand) just closed their borders and implemented a restriction on crowd size @Wingnut

Australia, meanwhile, has seen more than 600 confirmed cases reported. Morrison said he consulted with Ardern before the two leaders announced their travel bans.

"The overwhelming proportion of cases in Australia have been imported," Morrison told a news conference, adding that about 80% of the cases reported in Australia are the result of overseas travel or contact with someone returning from overseas.

Earlier this week, Morrison announced a ban on nonessential gatherings of 100 or more people in the country, similar to measures adopted in other countries.

(BTW, Morrison .... the Wuhan virus has been "imported" all over the world, not just in Australia.)

Aren't 100% of all cases caused by being imported?

They are treating the Kung Flu bug with Fosters beer. Nothing can survive exposure to that canned wambat piss.
