    Can hot weather slow or kill the Coronavirus? (e.g. Florida?)

    In Florida there are over 13,000 confirmed cases of Coronavirus, but the summer has just started in Florida (or you could say starts in 1-2 weeks from now) with tempratures rising as high as 92F (33C) every day - would you say this could slow down or even kill the Coronavirus?

    15 to 20 degree difference between Louisiana and N.J. right now. Looking at the ratios.......Is the heat helping?

    I think it has to do with humidity too. It hasn't really been too humid yet in FL

    Why shouldn't I be asking if heat is helping? That is the point of asking about summer, isn't it?

    Rudy, do you beileve prayers can help? We are in transition of seasons in the entire world, I'm in Israel now, we are in Spring now, definitely not humid here at all, yesterday Google would have shown you it was 33C (92F) in Tel Aviv but it felt much colder and it was bleak and basically the weather was terrible.

    I'm Jewish, so we are on Thursday morning changing our prayers from praying for rain - to praying for the sun (and the heat), I can tell you I don't recall many (if any) times in history where the prayers for the sun were so important, it was much more common for Jewish people to pray for rain at times of drought ... right now it feels like a drought wouldn't be a bad thing at all .... !!

    So all in all - I was going in circles, so yeah, what do you think? Will some prayers to god can help us all change this crazy thing that has landed on all of us? Feels like we're living in some science fiction story to be honest!

    ofcourse i think prayers are worthless and havent been to a church in about 25 years

    BUT: maybe I give church a .000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000001 PERCENT change

    I give posting on SBR a 0.0%

    so yea i think prayer is slightly better than sbr though i think neither works

    GOD BLESS

    Look at the Southern Hemisphere on the map and places near the equator. Why has the second most populated country in the world, India, gotten off reality lightly compared to others? Heat and mosquitoes. India lives on Chloroquine.

    We figured out you are way out of your league on this topic last week. Season don't kill viruses. A certain temperature or humidity level may. So far that does not appear to be tge case as it us spreading in warm and humid climates. New Or leans a good indicator and they are being slammed. As is FL.

    In New Zealand there was only 1 death case from the Coronavirus.
    In Australia there were 41 death cases (which considerably speaking is not bad).

    The thing is we can't use OZ or Kiwi lands for comparison now coz they are now entering fall (autumn) and summer has ended officially there, so any further numbers or data from their locations would be irrelevant to answer this question (unless of course seeing god forbid higher numbers would definitely link the weather to this).

    The first to know if weather can help or not are those who live in places like Florida, Arizona and yes, maybe even Israel which is considered to be a warm place in general. The thing is we are at least 2-3 weeks away from getting proper humidity into all these places I've mentioned, and thus having 33C (92F) degrees means nothing if there is no proper humidity, or even add some psychological elements into it, people by all means don't feel like it's summer yet, at least not here in Israel ... so I guess my question remains unresolved and only time would tell, huh?

    1.3 billion shutdown by force in India. You need context. They are extremely poor and tests arent being performed.

    Why are 1.3 billion on military enforced lockdown in India if it isnt a problem there? Must be Democrat ploy to get Trump.

    noone knows how that compares to florida

    For the record I am all for hydrochloroquin to treat folks. It seems if they catch it early it can be effective.
    Side effects mild and rare.
    The problem is we dont gave enough tests, still, two months later. If we did we could catch it early and treat.
