  1. This is called paranoia. Get help.
  2. The problem, Grant, is your refusal to admit your error in that 'innocuous statement' that in fact propagates a widely circulating myth about covid-19 and heat. It is not known if the virus is negligibly, somewhat, or very sensitive to heat and humidity. Until then, everyone should assume the virus is just as transmissible in Canada as it is in Costa Rica (where cases have gone up significantly).
  3. Read that a few days ago. Is it known that the same applies to covid-19?

  5. 5, but some may not have room and forfeit the pick
  6. Excellent place to practice social distancing.
  7. 62 Cases in Kuwait, 189 in Bahrain, 262 in Qatar, 85 in UAE, 62 in SA. Hot climates all. Antiviral medications are not cures, and there is no cure for pneumonia. Reputable sources are comparing the mortality from covid-19 to the Spanish Flu. Reputable scientific sources are to be believed. Not Grant's dangerous extrapolations.
  8. Your comment that covid-19 is very sensitive to heat and humidity, in other words, is your assumption, nothing more. Whereas the number of confirmed infections in hot climates like Qatar and Saudi Arabia is on par with or higher than the rest of the world. What you are saying is unproven, not supported by facts, and dangerous misinformation.
  9. There are antivirals available for herpes, HIV, and flu. These are not cures.
  10. Your first post says the virus is "very sensitive to heat and humidity". How do you draw that conclusion from an unpublished study identifying the ideal transmission temperature?
  11. I'm perfectly calm. If we are to slow down this thing, misinformation like Grant's needs to be confronted.
  12. Got sources for your BS? And don't give me studies on SARS-CV or other coronavirus, they all have different characteristics. NYT March 10: Scientists don’t know how long the new coronavirus can live on surfaces, and preliminary research suggests that hot and humid environments may not slow down the pathogen’s spread. Chinese study published in peer reviewed journal: A novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019 and has caused over 40,000 cases worldwide to date. Previous studies have supported an epidemiological hypothesis that cold and dry (low absolute humidity) environments facilitate the survival and spread of droplet-mediated viral diseases, and warm and humid (high absolute humidity) environments see attenuated viral transmission (i.e., influenza). However, the role of absolute humidity in transmission of COVID-19 has not yet been established. Here, we examine province-level variability of the basic reproductive numbers of COVID-19 across China and find that changes in weather alone (i.e., increase of temperature and humidity as spring and summer months arrive in the North Hemisphere) will not necessarily lead to declines in COVID-19 case counts without the implementation of extensive public health interventions.
  13. The f*** you talking about, you idiot? Your comment that hot weather kills the virus is ********. Give me a reputable source that says otherwise.
  14. Obviously there is no cure as it is a common cause of death. Have gotten better at managing the symptoms and giving the body a better fighting chance, is all.
  15. Let's get this over with. People have other things to do, like find TP.
  16. Cannot rely on the health care system in this case, only social distancing and heavily stepped up personal hygiene.
  17. And medical technology has no solution in both cases. There is no cure for any virus, only vaccines where you are infected with non-lethal version of the virus.
  18. Just play the matches as per the schedule, whenever MLB is ready to go. Winners receive an asterisk.
  19. Final round, then we wait to watch players play wearing masks in empty stadiums. 81 Pendleton4Life19 82 connorp 83 Ling34 84 spittin 85 Beans 86 KingFiller 87 Abomination 88 SpeedyGose 89 EZe 90 The Bad Guy
  20. The heat thing is a myth. Some of the hottest places in the world are becoming infection hotspots.
  21. I don't believe government predictions. The messaging is primarily to avoid panic. The true expectations are not for public consumption.
  22. No chance it dies down in May, IMO. Going to be many months and most people in the world are going to get infected. The ones that don't are the ones that have started and will continue to practice social distancing, avoid touching their face, wash with soap and water several times a day. BTW, washing with soap and water is more effective as it removes the virus, hand sanitizer does not, and does not necessarily kill the virus.
