Heat hasn't seemed to help slow it in Singapore.

Not saying I know anything one way or the other, but this sounds like Chinese folklore. They believe drinking anything cold is bad for your body and that all drinks should be hot for this reason.

Stupid question coming up...
So the virus will not survive in the body? Is that similar to say the flu virus?
I assumed when he said that a doctor recommended that you just need to drink hot water and you’d be okay, he was trolling.
Mocking how often stories like that get posted and people just automatically run with it, and illustrating how dangerous getting the basis of your info from social media/water cooler talk is.
Also including the “set it up” by making an appeal to authority via a distance “My neighbor’s cousin’s aunt” kind of BS, or in this case, his mother-in-law’s friend’s nephew.

All I understand is what he sent which was also translated from Chinese to Japanese to English. But he said that it would “kill the virus in the throat”

Yea, I’ve had this whole “inner hot” concept explained to me a lot and it never made scientific sense. But drinking cold things can be ok if your “inner hot” is too hot.

This is a real story that I am relaying. But I’m not saying it makes any sense or putting any worth in it. That’s why I said FWIW. Just think it’s interesting coming from someone in Wuhan studying the virus

The virus does not cause a runny nose or cough as symptoms of it. Between 26 and 27 degrees Celsius (and above) the virus won’t survive. Drinking hot water and exercising are a good way to kill the virus in your body. A vaccine is not necessary.
The first part of this statement may be true but the second part is complete nonsense. Is that your speculation to drink hot water or did he say that? If he said that, I have to question everything else he said too because it’s so moronic. No offense
Even if he is just in basic sciences he should know better.

All those people stuck on a cruise ship not knowing they could just drink hot water?

Yea, idk I’m pretty skeptical of this as well. There was more to the message too, but my wife read it to me since it was in Japanese and since I can’t directly translate it. Mentioned drinking other warm drinks, tea, ginger, etc. classic Chinese stuff. I’m not offended if you think he’s a moron. Idk this guy and I think eastern medicine is typically bs and they tend to have trouble separating myth from fact. But I thought it was an interesting thing to share considering the source

I think we just figured out why the death toll is so much higher in China than elsewhere.
They are putting 60 year old frickers with pneumonia on a treadmill.
“DAMN! Another one. We just didn’t get him exercising early enough!”

I was taking it to mean survival on outside surfaces and the 80 degree mark - which you have stated previously may be a factor. Agree the point about hot drinks doesn’t make sense.

Instructions unclear: poured boiling water on doorknob.

Oddly, that's more effective at infection control than drinking hot water and not getting available vaccines.

If a virus can live inside the body at 98°F (37°C), then 80°F (27°C) won’t harm it outside the body. Rather, it’s usually the aridity factor that determines how long a virus can live outside a host’s body.

The authorities in Wuhan on Saturday introduced 14 days’ mandatory quarantine for recovered coronavirus
patients, after some discharged patients again tested positive.
From Saturday, all patients who had recovered and been discharged had to be sent to designated places for two weeks of quarantine and medical observation, the city’s coronavirus treatment and control command centre said on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter.
Wuhan and the rest of Hubei province, of which it is the capital, have continued to account for the vast majority of confirmed coronavirus cases in mainland China, where about 77,000 have been infected and more than 2,400 have died.
The new quarantine arrangements came after Chinese medical experts on the front line of the battle to contain the outbreak warned that recovered patients may still carry the virus and be contagious.
