Venezuela has it. Brazil has it. Follow what happens there. Someone posted yesterday it takes IIRC two weeks to hit 6,000 cases. Check back. In two weeks and see how they are doing. If they have less maybe it is light and moisture sensitive.
Warm and hot in a lot of places where this thing is flourishing.
Yes, boiling hot should kill off coronavirus - but at 212F , people would probably not care a lot about a virus.
India basically doesn’t have it. Neither does Indonesia.
Cases there are imported (ie, travelers from Italy or Iran).
Viruses don’t do well in high heat and high humidity. Nobody knows why, and some kind of studies should be done (is it heat, humidity, vitamin D, or ultraviolet light?)
In the next decade there will be libraries filled with papers. Why Brazil and not India may be a wing of the library. Waiting for Spring is not an option for us. Spring is here in days IIRC. Let’s all hope that the # of death today is heading south severally in two weeks. It would mean we don’t need to do anything else. It would be great if it was so sensitive to light and moisture we could drop all this in two weeks. Much better than putting hundreds of thousands of people on HCQ.
Killing off all journalists and liberals would take care of the spread.
Yeah, the southern hemisphere is getting colder every day, as the northern hemisphere gets warmer every day. That may be one possible explanation as to why. However, I can’t explain why Australia has seen so many cases. Perhaps it’s because more people actually visit there, and they have a larger population of Chinese who had visited Wuhan during the Chinese New Year.
Tucson is having one if its coldest springs ever. So not yet.
Because it isn’t as heat sensitive as we might hope. Australia is pretty dry. Maybe that’s it. Who knows. We aren’t in Australia.
If this is true, then shouldn’t we welcome global warming?
Brazil first cases 2-26-20
Now they have 534
USA first case was 1-19-20
Now we have nearly 12,000
Despite Brazil urban clusters being very dense and poor hygiene
Y’all do the math
Austraila is ending their summer and still warm. I haven’t seen their level of infection, though it pretty warm when the Hank’s caught it.
Yes, we can hope that 80° heat and 70% humidity will kill a virus that lives in a 98.6° degree body that’s mostly water.
I’m holding out for sunshine and vitamin D...
.
After 22 days, they have 534 cases
USA first case was 1-19-20
Now we have nearly 12,000
After 22 days, we had 12 cases.

That math?
A day or so ago I read that approximately half of the Australian cases were from people who had visited known coronavirus areas and then returned home.
Except for the coastline areas, which are where the vast majority actually reside on the island of Australia. 8>)
And they in turn probably infected others around them.
I read on another international board the Chinese are really moving in on Australia. Buying real estate for investment and not even renting it out. The Aussies are starting to get a little upset with them even before this.
