And it seems to be heading westwards rather than eastwards from China. |

Of course that's why it could also massively surge at the end of September and no one should get complacent over summer. If it DOES decline significantly in June/July we should use the three summer months to bolster ICU capacity and ventilators so that healthcare services are hopefully over-prepared once we get back into long nights and a potential second wave. I'd imagine another lockdown in October-December is also very possible. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 08-04-2020 at 07:30 PM. |

Makes you wonder why they were stopping people sunbathing then tbh, I read it couldn't survive over 26 degrees not that we ever get near that here

The higher temperatures in California might also partly explain why Los Angeles hasn't been as badly affected as New York. As well as people being more spread out in LA and they also like driving everywhere, whereas New York uses public transport more.
I always thought that with colds and flu, more people got them during the winter because they congregated indoors more, and they spread more easily, but I'm not sure how much that is true. |

Also been thinking about how the mass, mass majority of people who live in NYC obviously live in high-rise apartments/skyscrapers, which all have shared air conditioning systems. Both of these are pretty big factors in the spread. The fact there are potentially hundreds in one building, using the same elevators/stairs etc and then the same A/C which can spread germs room to room, apartment to apartment very quickly. I know it's cold there now as you mentioned, but surely many will still be using their air con. |

Well my old mum's house should be ok as it shares the same ambient temperature as the surface of Mercury

temperature isn't relevant it's uv light intensity that does the trick. If it's a sunny day, open all the windows and let the light stream in. UV doesn't pass through glass

well they will pass through a bit, but not efficiently. There are not many of us that slap the sun tan lotion on if we are sitting inside on a sunny day

It causing sunburn is the same reason it kills bacteria and viruses btw... You can also bleach (some) stains out of white clothes by leaving them out in strong sunlight |

Just to add more interesting junk knowledge; on the topic of suntan lotion, the reason it protects your skin from the sun is that it contains microparticles that do exactly the same thing as glass (let visible light through whilst blocking UV)

When we visit my wife's grandparents - usually in the middle of summer as they live down in England - they ALWAYS have the gas fire on in the living room. Always. I can't physically handle it for more than 15 minutes, I feel like I'm going to literally pass out... And they have it like that permanently .
