So we will see a 40 degree average temp increase here in Louisiana probably in June


No we won't.

Your study is in Celsius. The average February high in New Orleans is 19 C. A 40 C rise would be like 140 F.

Plus one has to consider factors like how widespread AC is here. It'll be 70 and low humidity indoors most places.

I'll take all the help the heat and humidity can give us though.

now will have their children home from school for a few weeks minimum.


Good thing there are plenty of baby sitters who are also sitting at home doing nothing since high schools and colleges are closed too.

have not seen any new information about new cases/deaths. Anybody care to share?


Yes. Mortality rate in the US is down to 2.34% as of right now (41 deaths, 1746 confirmed cases). Was about 2.9% this morning. If the trend maintains with the ramp up in testing that is happening, mortality may drop below 2% tomorrow.

I'll update in the morning after I check Costco for a toilet paper resupply.

CDC has tested 77 people this entire week. That's not a typo. 77 people.


The CDC is an absolute joke. Our leaders are failing us exceptionally.

I converted to F. So a 20 F increase is about 10 C increase. Right?

0.02 per 1 C so 0.2 per 10 C

Did I miss something?

Looks like they've updated some numbers since yesterday so, yes, it isn't real . It was real according to what they had posted yesterday though. New numbers from 3/4-3/10 CDC testing is 414 tests administered.

You can see the numbers here

The private testing is slowly creeping upward and looking better as they're actually eclipsing over 1000 tests nationwide per day. That didn't start happening until March 4th though they've yet to hit 2000 tests in a single day.

I love how there were a bunch of upvotes too. People didn’t even check his math, just liked that it was a presumed gotcha

We already had proven flu tests. We didn’t have proven coronavirus tests.

The frick up was not taking the WHO tests until we developed our own. I believe that was due to arrogance. frick the CDC

While I do hope the heat and humidity study is true, there have been experts saying that heat and humidity may not affect it, as we saw with another strain of Coronavirus, MERS. Comparing it to the flu is like apples and oranges. If compared to past Coronavirus strains, heat and humidity are not a factor. Just to clarify, I am not an expert, not saying they are wrong, just saying it has been argued. The sky is not falling and I don't own a doomsday bunker or 53,972 rolls of toilet paper. We shall see, I'm hoping that this study is spot on!

And that backs up everything we all said that it’s the lack of information and unknown leading to the panic.

Had the feds been remotely on their shite with testing these closures don’t happen

Yeah but those people were saying that because we literally didn’t know and past viruses have acted differently.

The Chinese study is an actual academic study based on observing the coronaviruses activity
