COVID19 is basically a thinly wrapped protein, not a living organism

and from what I’ve read, this thing decays in humidity and temps above 77°.

So basically, late April in Georgia will kill this sucker.

Am I wrong?

Yes

Although it does seem to be slowed down at higher temps

If above 77 would wipe it out there wouldn't be any cases in Singapore

Dr on tv last night said it's more of a humidity thing that helps it ... take it fwiw.

I have no clue what you read and neither does anyone else. Trying to do right and wrong on your understanding of this topic with no link to the source material would be ignorant.

I hope that statement is right though.

It’s a virus. Viruses as a rule are not living

Dr. Osterholm compared it to the MERS Coronavirus...he says that spreads quite easily in the desert at 110 degrees...so I’m not holding out hope that 77 will do the trick.

See all those countries in the southern hemisphere?

Summer just ended there.

Many viruses fit that category. Including Ebola.

FFS, what doesn't?

In all seriousness, there is a reason folks generally don't get respiratory viruses in the heat of Summer.

I'm pretty sure our bodies are above 77 degrees Fahrenheit and pretty humid.

Correct. Cause there are no A/C's or closed in buildings in Singapore. Everything is wide open to the atmosphere.

That applies to any first world country

Why even bring up the external temp in the first place then?

There's a lot of debate on whether a virus is a living organism or not, Covid-19 isn’t different from others

My body is 98.6 degrees with 70 percent humidity. This is why I never get sick.

Viruses are a relic of the method ancient aliens used to implant DNA into our primate ancestors.
