Summer, Heat and Corona - srs questions

[Arm Pit Cream]

So, in the United States it's easily the hottest week of the year so far, if we go off Florida it would be in the high twenties to low thirties for the last week.


In LA has some decent weather in the high 20s too the past week


Houston, and funnily enough the current epicenter for corona in the highest casualty state yesterday, has had weather in the mid to high 30s all week



So if I recall, on here quite a few users and with the president of the united states I heard this one idea over and over ad nauseam; that during the summer corona would reduce as a result of either, sunlight, the heat or magic. To say it bluntly: It doesn't take a doctor to realize that sunlight or heat doesn't magically destroy all diseases, particularly ones that can spread like corona.

Watch this clip where his own staff BTFOs Trump to his face and tells him his theory is schizoposting, before he spergs out on the media for doing their proper job for once:

Trump saying it would go away in April because of the weather getting hotter:

It'll flare up in the Fall but the summer won't be effected (because of the heat presumably):

"There will be embers, there will be fires, there will be flare ups"

Before you say "he's not a doctor how could he have known in such a short time?" Most of these clips were from April, may I remind you the US and Israel have known about this since November? More importantly, he had his staff shoot down this idea both publicly and privately, but he still continued to say it in hopes that he could just truck through corona by saying everything was gonna be fine. It doesn't take a doctor to realize that sunlight or heat doesn't magically destroy all diseases, particularly ones that can spread like corona. I'm not arguing about niche UV light techniques or how sunlight or heat can positively benefit the sick people's immune system.

So does anybody actually believe that sunlight or heat gets rid of corona? If so, how does that contrast with the fact it's so far the hottest week of the year in America?

To be clear, I'm not debating Trump's response to corona or the fact he said those comments, but they do provide an example of the exact kinda rhetoric I've seen on here, along with his willingness to seemingly be the figurehead of this concept. So redpill me on the sunlight and summer heat.

You know, I'd agree with most of what you said if it wasn't for the fact that we have another month and a half of Summer left (August and the first half of September), and even if the heat doesn't completely destroy it, it might weaken it to the point where the US can go back to not wearing masks at stores anymore.

Then again this is me being optimistic.

To be fair to Trump, the WHO and most leading medical professionals also said the heat would make Corona-chan fuck off.

Sunlight doesn't kill it, but there are ideal humidity circumstances that allows covid to spread better.

I also like how Trump's statements are kinda like nostradamus. The prophecies keep fulfilling because nobody is sure what they exactly mean.

Latin America wouldn't be getting fucked right now if heat killed it.

I think there is something to be said for pleasant weather slowing the spread since people will be inclined to spend more time outside and away from other people. Once it heats up to the point of being hellishly hot it will boomerang since everyone will cluster indoors with air conditioning again.

Jut another day at work for me, only problem is that due to CoronaAIDS they can't provide us free cold water bottles in the big coolers like they used to. instead, we have to pray that the water boy comes to provide us with the water bottles while we're working the planes. it's tough and gay but when the water boy comes, it's like being saved by a saint.

Does Latin America also have enough resources to cure this thing?

Except there's this thing called the "Beach", which for some psychotic reason normies LOVE to flock to during the summer months.

I was always under the impression that people thought corona would ease up in the summer for the same reason flu season is mostly in the late fall and winter. It's not so much because of the heat but because when the weather is warmer and pleasant, more people are out and about instead of clustered indoors and spreading the virus.

Even with the intense hot humid summers in the South and Mid-Atlantic, a lot of people tend to do a lot of traveling in the summer so again, less people bunched up together inside.

This is new territory and everyone's going on old information so a lot of people made a lot of mistakes in the early parts of the pandemic. Global, National, State, and Local, it didn't matter; Pretty much everyone was incompetent as fuck during the COVID-19 outbreaks in the winter and spring.

The last big pandemic was H1N1 in 2009, which was relatively mild in the First World and was definitely more mild than COVID-19 or the Spanish Flu.

Even the big Ebola pandemic of 2014 was mainly confined to Africa. It reached the United States but was immediately locked down and quarantined before it could become an issue.
