This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

What about the fact that we are around the corner from nice weather. Having three young kids, I am always relieved when the weather breaks, for many reasons, but one is because I know the odds are all three of my kids are generally going to be healthy for months....despite their terrible hygiene habits. Whereas through winter, I just expect them to pick up and spread bugs through the house. All the bugs that are rampant through the winter just seem to fade out all at once when the weather really breaks.

Admittedly, I don't know the science behind this phenomenon, but I've seen it year over year. Any reason to think this virus won't follow suit and simply fade out as the weather breaks? I've heard reasoning that this happens simply because people are inside less, so its harder to spread things, which I have to believe is part of it, but to me it seems like there must be more to it than that.

Clearly I am no scientist 😉

Too soon to tell on this question? We can look at Iran and Spain, where temps have been in the 60s and 70s for guidance. To my casual eye, it doesn't seem to have slowed it down much.

Weather is irrelevant unfortunately but sunlight does shorten their life span of surfaces.

Has to do with social distancing. When the weather is nice, you spend more time outside vs. inside in close proximity to one another trading germs.

There is truth to this. Long exposure to UV light, surfaces heating up, and dryness do cut the half-life of bacteria and viruses on hard surfaces.

I thought I read somewhere that higher humidity reduces the time mucus droplets stay airborne
 
Wife has gotten 2 positive cases and 3 awaiting results today. She is now married to them. One therapist exposure at a time is the philosophy ?
 
i just cut down a weed tree, one of those ones you usually cut with the weed whacker. It was 30' high and "woody"
at least it didn't land on the fence.
I'm having a reaction to the dust it created, which is giving me a dry cough.
I need to go beer shopping. should have the aisle to myself.
