this is very clearly false.

stop spreading *very* dangerous misinformation.

summer just ended in the southern hemisphere, yet cases continue to
increase at a rapid rate. clearly the virus thrives quite well.

You are overreacting.

not in the least.

My source of information states that papers are
in the pipeline suggesting that Covid-19 thrives for
*daily_mean_temperatures* from 32F to 55F. My error was leaving out
the 'daily mean'.

your error is spreading very dangerous misinformation, and 'daily mean'
doesn't change much of anything.

You cannot deduce this kind of information from newspaper articles
about the impact of the disease on a community.

your second error is reading newspapers. newspapers are dead.

it *can* be deduced by reading credible medical sources.

The main thing that happened was a significant spike in the number
of coronavirus infections. Australia has now sprinted past 1,000
cases, with the number doubling over each of the past three days,
and it is likely this acceleration is only the beginning.

Australia is shutting down non-essential services as coronavirus
cases rise rapidly in the country.

This difference is what might happen for this virus. We are expecting about
20,000 deaths in the UK and in the news it says our rate of people testing
positive is 2nd highest after Spain. Even Italy, China and Iran have better
figures percentage wise, but in total numbers they are ahead of everybody.


Surprisingly, hot countries (apart from Iran) seems to be resistant to
this. India has got only 4 deaths so far; Kazakhstan hasn't got any cases
so far but it has taken draconian action to close down almost everything!!
Nigeria has got only one case but experts think that they announced this to
get help from the west. They didn't have any cases so far!!. We don't know
anything about Australia or New Zealand but they have already taken steps
to stop spreading.

Bull****. The lows in Glorious South Florida have been over 70F, the highs in
the 80s. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, all in Deepest South
Florida, you can’t get further south unless you get on the Keys, account
for _half_ of Florida’s total corona cases. There are 67 counties in
Florida. The Palm Beach Post includes a nice little map with this article.
(The three red circles at bottom right, they’re Dade, Broward, and Palm
Beach. Note that Dade, the furthest south and the hottest, has the biggest
circle.)

Anyone who thinks, using the term generously, that covid-19 ‘finds it
increasingly difficult to thrive’ at temps over 66F is an idiot. An
extremely dangerous, completely misinformed, idiot.

I didn't say it died out at these temperatures. Merely that it does
best at lower temperatures and that this might explain the apparent
anomaly of the infections in Iran.


Maybe so sobering data analysis might be illuminating of the real risk...

You are at the upper end of the viruses preferred average daily
temperatue rang and certainly not hot enough to severely inhibit it.

in other words, it thrives just fine in hot weather.


The "hot weather will save us" is the justification for some that action
is not needed.

Fake news is *not* reliable information. It is slanted, tainted, distorted,
and fraught with gratuitous dogmatic opinions.

Our governments and news media *LIE* to us to facilitate political
objectives.

Did you know *WHY* the great influenza pandemic was called 'The Spanish
Flu'?

Google it...

Back then, circa 1918-1920, government censors prohibited reports of the
pandemic's statistics - mainly to facilitate WWI efforts and recovery -
except those reports coming from Spain, which was neutral during WWI.

Look at how the US Democrats are misbehaving even *NOW* within today's
advanced technology and communication environment... They are deliberately
and maliciously acting in a methodical way to prolong and exacerbate the
pandemic and ambient circumstances in a 'Hail Mary' effort to blame
President Trump for the fallout...

What the USA is enduring now is a 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' pandemic...

Because the yearly flu outbreaks will kill more people than this current
Chinese caronavirus. Not to mention drunk driving and opioids... every
year!

Hopefully you're not breeding. Here's an interesting

You could certainly make that case, but did
you read the article? Or you can look up "frilot
corona louisiana". You'll find the same story
in numerous papers. Even in Britain.

If you don't want to know about it then
you're just an ostrich trying to avoid facts
and your opinions count for nothing, because
they're derived from fear.

This is the kindergarten mentality that our country is dealing with thanks
to a failed public school system, Democrats, and their fake news lapdogs.

What the USA is enduring NOW is a 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' pandemic.

What is a 'Democrat'? Someone who has to be instructed on how to wash their
hands... Also, someone who rushes to the store to stock-up on toilet paper
for the ominious impending Zombie Apocalypse.

Hope this helps.
