Great. It gets very hot here during Summer, but our humidity levels hover around 1 to 10 percent.

Well, I’m in Alabama, so we got that humidity sucker nailed to the floor. It’s the sunlight part of it that sends us scurrying for a shade tree and a cold beer. *chuckle*

Trump was right. He predicted this on 19th February “I think it’s going to work out fine. I think when we get into April, in the warmer weather, that has a very negative effect on that and that type of a virus.”

He will be proved correct. Now everyone get out and back to work

The flu (virus infections) dying down in the Spring/Summer is more a factor of human behavior...school is out, people outside the house more, etc., getting the flu from touching something outside that could be “sterilized” by the sun is a very low probably.

So, the wretched northeast and northwest with no sunlight and high humidity are screwed?

I can’t speak for the northwest but here in my northeast it is hot, humid and sunny in the summers. I don’t know where you get no sunlight from.

Here in Washington state we are lucky to break 80 degrees but our humidity is often 80 as well.

CDC? FDA? NIH? Nope. Not one of them who are supposed to know these things made this announcement.

Homeland Security?

I’m not making fun of your tag line (see below). Only making fun of the way I misread it after rising here to get going early and saying to myself, “What?” Your tagline is good.

On summer and COVID-19, I posted a few comments about a couple of months ago after reading some earlier studies. Warm weather and sunlight should help for those who continue to avoid crowds, keep their distance a little and get out in the sunlight. Avoid sunburn. People with possible skin cancer lesions should be extra careful about that and cover up. They’ll still get some rays that will kill viruses.

Because of its contagiousness, it can continue to spread in crowded buildings. Maybe people who work day shifts in those conditions can get out for a sun break within a couple of hours either way of solar noon (1 pm for most of us in summer).

Wearing a mask creates a very humid environment in front of my face. My glasses steam up immediately.
