??? I didn't read the pdf, I read the tables and table descriptions.
"Most data were described with the endemic human coronavirus strain (HCoV-) 229E. On different types of materials
it can remain infectious for from 2 hours up to 9 days. A higher temperature such as 30°C or 40°C reduced the duration of persistence of highly pathogenic MERS-CoV, TGEV and MHV. However, at 4°C persistence of TGEV and MHV
can be increased to ≥ 28 days. Few comparative data obtained with SARS-CoV indicate that persistence was longer with higher inocula (
Table I). In addition it was shown at room temperature that HCoV-229E persists better at 50% compared to 30% relative humidity [8]"
Correct, hope is not a plan. Of course how you read my post as 'hope is a plan' is ???. What I was saying/doing was providing information that contradicts your
absolute statement(not your "I suspect" or "probably") that it's not going away and it's going to get worse (you're only entertaining the idea, through other responses, that this
is the flu pandemic).
You want to think that is fact, portray on BB as fact, or simply want to believe it is? Have at it but you know, and I know, you don't know it as fact, not even close. It's your opinion, period, So why not throw in a qualifier stating it as opinion and help stop potential panic? Why not throw in "though I could be wrong and it could start lessening sooner rather than later"?
Fyi, looking at information that suggests it may not be this nightmare scenario you believe it will be (and hopefully you're wrong, hopefully it won't be), your table does not say hot temps does not diminish the 19. The myriad of things people would touch in significantly above room temperatures outside, in non AC, in high temp AC settings. This slows down the virus spread. Fyi, again, that's not the plan, that's data to
suggest spread will decrease. That's a good thing don't you think? But because this is new to humans we have unknowns that require prudence and even vigilance. Again, you want to go a different direction with all of this, have at it. Expect to be called on stating things as facts when they are clearly not. That's not so bad either is it?
