Flus never make it to summer, so you’ll be okay. The virus dies in about 2 seconds with exposure to sunlight, and apparently prefers cooler temperatures. That’s why flus die as spring comes on and then sometimes come back in the fall. Hence, the “flu season.”

SARS thrived in airconditioned hospitals.

I do think that higher D3 levels in the summer season will help a lot.

Hello, not a flu, it’s a virus. It’s exploding in the Middle East and other warm areas. Seriously, do you even read?

This is SARS-COVI-2...Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus - 2....it's not an influenza virus. It's more akin to an airborne pneumonia virus. And how it thrives in warm weather is largely unknown...it seems to be spreading in some warm places right now such including Singapore.

You know...that would be relevant if this was the flu. Because it’s living just fine in Singapore, Egypt, Iran, and those other hot, sticky places.

But that’s good to know about the flu.

Oh..and this stuff has lived on normal indoor surfaces for up to nine, count’em nine days.

But...that’s crazy panic talk. So I will say no more.

You might want to check the temps in Italy. It is in Southern Italy.

The Italian aspect is interesting because of info i have seen but not verified that the ace2 receptor issue is lower in Italians than many other gene pools

I live in Florida and have had the flu in the middle of August, so this myth that a flu or virus cant survive the heat is BS.
