Virus can't live as long in higher heats so it slows infection spread.

I'm sure Brazil, Florida, Thailand, and Australia would be pleased to hear that. Something else must be getting them sick.

I don't understand because they said before smokers were at higher risk based on what they saw. When did that change.

Still unknown, there's a theory it'd slow infection rate coz the virus would have a harder time infecting people and it would get killed easier on surfaces that are hit by the sun rays, but no confirmation for anything yet.

People on GameFAQs have the weird idea that warm temperatures would prevent everyone from getting sick at all, but that's not how viruses work.

It's the thought that counts!
So don't go any further than the thought.

Nothing at all suggests that heat slows the rate of infection. Brazil has a huge number of infected and that number continues to grow. Africa is also apparently supposed to get outright fucked by it if projections are to be believed. And experts are saying this will go on into the summer. I trust them rather than random people on the internet claiming the pandemic will come screeching to a halt the second it warms up.

Every single study shows the virus can't exist as long in higher heats. Max transmission happens at like 38-40 degrees F.

The Guangzhou team based their study on every novel coronavirus case confirmed around the world between January 20 and February 4, including in more than 400 Chinese cities and regions. These were then modeled against official meteorological data for January from across China and the capital cities of each country affected.
The analysis indicated that case numbers rose in line with average temperatures up to a peak of 8.72 degrees Celsius (47.7F) and then declined.
Not much of a study, tbh. You want accurate results do it in a controlled environment.

Expert Andy Pekosz, a microbiologist at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health who wasnt involved in the studies, told the paper its safest to assume the virus wont taper off in the summer.

We dont know with the COVID-19 virus how it will behave in the warmer weather, Pekosz said. Prepare for having to deal with this in the summer months and assume there will be no respite.
He's 100% right. Just because other strains of corona have tapered off doesn't mean this one will.

They need to announce a freeze on rent/mortgage payments otherwise people are still getting fucked after 90 days are up and they have 3 months of back payments to pay.

Basically the gist of it is, a school reopened in a province and now that school has like 200 cases. Now the schools will open in the end of May at the earliest.

Not sure how accurate this website is, but according to it, there were less new cases of COVID19 in the US in the last day (18,882) than there were the day prior (19,452). Obviously the worst is still yet to come in terms of total # of active cases. But if the trend of less new cases/day continues tomorrow, that's a good sign that we might start to see improvement in the next couple months.

Not feasible to test people without symptoms who don't have clear interactions with someone infected.

I live in Tokyo and this article pretty much sums up how I, and many other people, feel. Basically, before the Olympics were delayed, the numbers were low and things were seemingly under control. Then, the Olympics were officially delayed, and then, THE NEXT DAY, suddenly the numbers started spiking and each day is a record high for consecutive days. There are talks of a lockdown as well in Tokyo. Many feel that officials were purposely understating the numbers so the Olympics can be salvaged.

This just really hit close to home.
