For the downvoters, the good news is that it doesn't survive nearly as long on surfaces in warm climates as cooler ones. Five days on a flat dry surface in the seventies vs almost four times that long in the cold and wet.

It’s not just the heat that kills it. It’s humidity. It can survive days on a surface in a cold dry environment. It’s more like hours in a warm wet environment.

This is why the flu spreads much more effectively in Dec - Feb in the northern hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere - same thing - their flu season is Jun - Aug - which are their winter months.

If we can get to spring, this thing shuts down.
