re: Texas baws are OUT and ABOUT!

Calling a Supreme Court ruling unconstitutional is akin to Richard Nixon stating that when the President does it, it’s not against the law.

The Congress can limit the authority of the Supreme Court on what it can decide as constitutional by stripping its jurisdiction, or it can change the law to become constitutional. You are suggesting that the court can or should be ignored.

I’m going to have a closer look at this study that you’re touting re: temperature reducing covid transmission by a noticeable degree.

i didn't say that. the supreme court/government said that anytime a ruling is rescinded/amended. you're getting way off topic

i never said anything of the kind. i said that plenty of people have argued, rightly so, that eo's are spurious. this is not a new topic

how long are you going to shift the goalposts around with these subjective terms. you're unnecessarily prolonging this conversation with sophistry

Ahh. I'm with you. True, nothing is unconstitutional unless the Court rules as such. Until then it's merely alleged to be unconstitutional.

I can’t find the actual Fort Detrick study but by all indications, it was purely limited to whether sunlight killed the covid virus.

I have no reason to believe that the study directly correlated sunlight, heat and humidity with reduced transmission because nowhere in the story is the study quoted as saying that. That would be a huge finding, but instead, the acting undersecretary who presented this stated that the virus could survive longer in shaded areas and “it would be irresponsible for us to say summer will kill the virus.”

The headline uses “suggests” and a reporter-written passage includes “may.”

Also, “outside experts” contacted by the Post said the results suggest the coronavirus behaves similarly to the flu, in being more efficient in spreading during colder months.

A Columbia University infectious disease expert opines that “if true, these results would point to preferred transmission in winter indoors” and that “in summer we could see some drop in virus activity in the Northern Hemisphere.”

Meanwhile, two studies go a step farther and actually study transmission, which cast doubt on whether the transmission rate will fall during summer for a population mostly lacking immunity.

One of those was the MIT study that its co-author stated “probably not” (a bridge that your study refused to cross, either way).

Another is from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.

Scientists are warning that COVID-19 could continue to spread at epidemic levels in the heat of summer despite initial findings from a government study that the novel coronavirus dies quickly in humidity and sunlight.

That study, outlined at the White House by Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Science and Technology William Bryan on Thursday, found the coronavirus survives for mere seconds or minutes on surfaces and in aerosol form when exposed to ultraviolet rays and to heavy humid air.

President Donald Trump expressed hope that the coming summer heat could accelerate an end to national guidelines on social distancing that have brought the U.S. economy to a halt. Vice President Mike Pence said that the heat “could well give us a summer respite” from the virus.

But scientists in Europe who have researched the seasonality of the coronavirus since the outbreak began say those findings only provide limited insight into what to expect of its spread going forward.

“Seasonality will very likely play a big role in the transmission of COVID-19, eventually – but not immediately,” said Sema Nickbakhsh, a research epidemiologist at the University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research.
