Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 9 minutes ago, Bad Things said: Just wondering where people are getting this "seasonal" stuff from. I've heard it mentioned a couple times on this board. Well, first of all, there's nothing solid about it. In USA, it was stated at high levels and without evidence that the virus was "just like flu". Seasonal influenza dies away in warm weather in temperate climates (interestingly, it surges during monsoon season in the tropics, go figgur). So the hope emerged that covid-19 might behave like seasonal flu and die off in warm weather. https://time.com/5790880/coronavirus-warm-weather-summer/ There are two problems with this idea: 1) pandemic flu doesn't necessarily behave like seasonal flu and die off above 86 F - it may spread more slowly, but if there's enough of it around, it still spreads 2) some of the conclusions in the above link are based on reported cases - but many tropical and sub-tropical countries have very limited testing capability thus their cases may not reflect what's really going on Even if covid-19 does turn out to decrease with warm weather as flu and colds do, it might behave similarly to flu and return with cold weather. 1

My father always said it grows in much thicker when you get a brush cut (had one from 7th grade through college)....so when I look at Michael Bolton, I’d say “yeah”. Lol

My. God. That's only one little beach in Ft Lauderdale. Really makes my point, though, that Florida's governor can tell incoming NYers to quarantine, sure, but he's already got covid-19 infections propegating through community transmission in his state due to Spring Break visitors flooding in late Feb-3rd week of March, from many locations in which covid-19 was already spreading. 1

aristocrat Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 https://www.yahoo.com/news/boris-johnsons-government-reportedly-furious-075257081.html could china have millions of cases?

I would say this is likely. The Chinese ignored the early stages of the outbreak and millions passed through the area before the lockdown. I imagine deaths and cases are both higher, although with their lockdown it is possible that the numbers of new cases are now very low.
