Australia and New Zealand are in the latter months of their summer. It's hot and humid. The experts claim that the virus can travel further in dry, cold weather which increases the risk of spreading. You sound silly when you channel Trump. This information did not come from Trump. It came from at two different doctors who specialize in virus transmission. What I found interesting was that it's not the heat or humidity that actually affects the virus. It's the more unlikely chance it will spread. Reason is this: If someone infected sneezes or coughs, the droplets will travel further in dry, low humidity conditions. Cold weather (winter) has low humidity conditions. In the summer, with warmer weather the relative humidity rises significantly. The droplets from a sneeze or cough cannot travel as far in the air with higher relative humidity. In other words, the air is denser in higher humidity conditions. Even Trump couldn't dream this one up. They always told us it just because people were cooped up together inside in the winter. I do suspect that in direct sun, viruses don't last as long. U/V and ozone are pretty tough stuff Being cooped up certainly aids cross-contamination but I doubt U/V and ozone has much effect on the droplets of a sneeze or cough that travels a short distance from the infected to the one about to be infected. They don't survive on surfaces as long and that is a significant vector. People touch the infected hand rail or whatever, then they touch their face or eat something without washing their hands. True. My first wife was living with doctors every day and we always talked about how you get germs. I was on the road, seeing dozens of customers every day in some places where there were hundreds of people coming and going so if there was a cold going around, I was going to be exposed. I tried to understand the vectors. IBM had a part number for 91% isopropanol and I kept a bottle in my tool bag, long before Purell was a thing. I still got my share of colds but I think I missed some. |

This information did not come from Trump.Â* It came from at two different doctors who specialize in virus transmission. Last week Trump said the virus would go away when it got warm. This is searchable. He didn't make it up. Other people, with credentials, say the same thing. We have to remember that Harry suffers from severe Trump derangement syndrome (TDS}Â* which is defined as a term for criticism or negative reactions to United States President Donald Trump that are alleged to be irrational and have little regard towards Trump's actual positions or actions taken. There is little hope for Harry's eventual recovery. Trump has no policy on any issue because his mental impairment means he cannot think strategically or abstractly, and concepts like fairness, justice, honor, do not register with him. I've never heard him state an abstract thought or idea. His language is simple and low-level, filled with adjectives like horrible, disgraceful, perfect, nasty, stupid, et cetera, and he's paranoid and vulgar. Hey, that's kind of like you stating that everything Republican is a "horror" inflicted, or everything anti-Republican is "delicious". You share that language trait with Trump. |

As a result they become more susceptible to infection. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

You are around people sneezing and blowing their nose all winter. New York City is the same way. |
