Sunlight destroys virus quickly, new govt. tests find

Preliminary results from government lab experiments show that the coronavirus does not survive long in high temperatures and high humidity, and is quickly destroyed by sunlight, providing evidence from controlled tests of what scientists believed — but had not yet proved — to be true.
A briefing on the preliminary results, marked for official use only and obtained by Yahoo News, offers hope that summertime may offer conditions less hospitable for the virus, though experts caution it will by no means eliminate, or even necessarily decrease, new cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. The results, however, do add an important piece of knowledge that the White House’s science advisers have been seeking as they scramble to respond to the spreading pandemic.
The study found that the risk of “transmission from surfaces outdoors is lower during daylight” and under higher temperature and humidity conditions. “Sunlight destroys the virus quickly,” reads the briefing.
While that may provide some good news about the outlook for outdoor activities, the Department of Homeland Security briefing on the results cautions that enclosed areas with low humidity, such as airplane cabins, “may require additional care to minimize risk of transmission.”

Yes but coming out is winter into summer this is good news because it will cut the self life of the virus on surfaces like packages etc.

Question: why does it thrive in high heat and humidity inside the body but likes cold and dry conditions outside the body?

Because if things work correctly nobody cares about us, we are only important when things go bad. Even then, it is our fault it went bad, so back to the basement. It is a vicious cycle.
Although some of us have moved up and have windows, titles, and are in the top 5% pay in the company.

It's not a cure, but it slows transmission. It's good news

It does if you spread wide enough.

What particular element of sunlight destroys the virus?

Is this the government that said mask were useless or the government that said we need to wear them?
