The Austin location and being a Longhorn fan can make it confusing, though.

Know how I can tell you didn’t read? Because the study’s co-author addressed sunlight, heat and humidity.

Will your wife’s boyfriend let you leave the house soon?

even if half of the populace had been infected, that sunlight (heat and humidity) would “probably not” have any effect on transmission

---

again, debatable

you're trying to pass off debatable info as fact.

quote:

---

If we were at half infected (which we are not)

---

yet another aspect you are probably wrong about

"A preliminary study by Jayanta Bhattacharya and Eran Bendavid from Stanford University found that between 48,000 to 81,000 people in California’s Santa Clara county had been infected with the Covid-19 virus by early April, a number that was 50 to 85 times the official number of cases."

still making my point for me. i guess you don't even realize it

you are still on the losing side. it's just a matter of how long before you realize it

Your link never said the study claimed heat and humidity would decrease transmission.

The only part that came close was part that was written by the Post reporters as conjecture.

quote:

---

If the summer months reduce the transmission rates of the virus, that would help officials’ efforts to squelch its spread without resorting to drastic mitigation measures, such as stay-at-home orders, that have had massive economic repercussions.

---

IF.

Followed by:

quote:

---

“It would be irresponsible for us to say summer will kill the virus,” Bryan said, calling summer conditions “another tool in toolbox” to use against the virus.

---

This is no different than the other study that I posted.

More:

quote:

---

Outside experts contacted by the Washington Post said the results suggest that the coronavirus behaves similarly to the flu in that it is most efficient at spreading during the colder months, when people are indoors and the air is cold and dry.

---

This does not address the immunity factor, in relation to efficient transmission, especially by comparing it to the flu, for which there IS widespread immunity.

Plus:

quote:

---

“This is another laboratory study but the interest is what happens in humans — the virus continues to circulate in Singapore in hot and humid conditions, and the precautionary measures in place (keeping surfaces clean and washing hands) that consider surfaces contaminated and a potential source of self-infection by hands touching the face should remain until proven otherwise, because this is [the] best practice in public health,” he said via email.

Your other link from the Chinese publication about the German study showed that antibody rates were in the teens.

That is nowhere near 50 percent at which the MIT researcher said heat and humidity in sunny conditions would “probably not” have an effect on transmission rates, much less the 60-70 percent required for herd immunity.

This study did claim that antibodies meant immunity, so props to you for that.

However,

quote:

---

But Christian Drosten, a virologist from Charité University Hospital in Berlin, said the lab tests had a “high rate of false positive signals” that could be detecting antibodies against seasonal coronaviruses, and not necessarily infection by Sars-Cov-2. Drosten said he could not draw any conclusions from the study, saying: “There is simply so little explained that you don’t understand everything.”

I also notice you skipped past the Supreme Court decision (Jacobson v. Massachusetts) and the recent Fifth Circuit decision that referenced the “settled rule” that states can restrict travel, public worship, peaceable assembly and orders to stay home during a public emergency, all in relation to the present pandemic.

How does ignoring that make your point?

quote:

---

Without widespread immunity, the heat will have negligible effect on transmission.

You are doing an outstanding job of repeating what you are told and you yourself know absolutely nothing about. Boy I bet they love people like you!

I’m repeating what I read, not what I think

Exactly. Do as you are told, do not under any circumstances form your own opinion of the situation, and make sure to call out anyone who does have differing thoughts.

It’s a two-way street, sir. It would be childish of me to comment on this board and not expect other people to discuss it, or even take issue with it.
