The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[confucius say]

Isn't Australia in their winter season? I wonder if that has something to do with the spread there, since they can limit travel rather easily and reduce exposures.

I thought I had read where the optimal temperature for spread was something like 11 degrees Celsius (or around 50 degrees Fahrenheit). I get Johnson85's take on AC when temps are high, but I'm still concerned about when flu season hits - how are we going to tell the difference between the two?



10 days ago - you were saying "what about deaths"; now that deaths are peaking - the narrative is about cases dropping. I think its been proven in this thread that case numbers don't matter. I think we're too far gone to contain it anyway. It appears that healthcare has been able to manage the load in the most recent "hot spots", but as I just stated - Fall concerns me greatly when temps. start to lower.



This is the percentage that I remember the last time the topic was raised.

Please show where I said "what about deaths" 10 days ago. I haven't talked about deaths in a month since I pointed out cases rose astronomically while deaths have not, thankfully. Deaths have risen though, and will for another two weeks roughly.
Case numbers matter bc they shed light on herd immunity potential. Fla has reached 20% and it's cases have fallen 12%. We should be there in less than a month.
