This Virus can’t take heat and humidity. Once both start to rise in the next 60 days, new infections will stop until the fall.


But check out Singapore. Since it’s right on the equator, even when it’s cool, it’s hot, if you know what I mean.

Humidity does it in via making the droplets fall sooner. Heat breaks down the proteins.

This does not mean it's still not infectious, it's just a lot harder to catch since it isn't literally, everywhere.

Droplet size being small is why it's so easy to be exposed. The droplets travel a long way, but in high humidity, the water clumps and drops out of the air faster.

MERS was very difficult to catch but humidity seem to have little to no effect on it. COVID-19 seems to be exactly the opposite.

Singapore population is so concentrated in some places that it’s like the cruise ship.
So it might not be a good place to test the ‘heat and humidity’ angle.

If this is not a natural bug, it is completely unpreductable.
