    Coronavirus News -- PLEASE No Politics

    For me they do. Happens all the time. Even previously in this thread. Good, dedicated folks. If it's not too political, I will also say that I got an email, as a parent of a student there, that UC Santa Cruz is suspending classes due to CoV. Seems like a trend today.

    OK, being proud of your state being the first at something significant is now political and instills hypochondria. Mod: please delete my "partisan" post. Thank you.

    I'd rather focus on the positive. This is the first State to initiate such a reasonable measure and, in addition, TESTS ARE FREE. That is leadership. 14 in a town of roughly 7000 infected (so far, and it is early) is 0.2%. Multiply your city or town by this number and see whether it is a...

    OK, Now the Gov. of Co. has called a State of Emergency. He is on it now that testing results are coming in. Drive up testing labs starting tomorrow.

There are now 13 suspected cases in my town stemming from the one Australian visitor I posted about earlier. 13 in a small town of 7000. Those are Italian/Korean/Wuhan ratio numbers right here. Confirmation...

    I agree, it really depends on latitude. But I've always read that dehydratatiion of viral particles in hot sunny weather will limit their viability.

    Man, you and @spicer are killing me with your compassion. I know you are half joking, like Castanza looking through obituaries for NY apartments. :beerchug:

    The coronavirus, like most, has an envelope that must be kept moist, so humidity levels matter. Heat matters, but so does sunshine (the RNA genome is sensitive to UV). So in dry, sunny weather, they don't last as long on surfaces (e.g. handrails, doorknobs) so lower transmission. That's why flu...
