The other link was about flight as fever in bats, but it did not make the case that the coronavirus has evolved a more resilient lipid bilayer because it was in bats. The lipids will still melt in the sun. Sars-Cov-2 is still defeated by warm soapy water.

If rates did not slow as much as expected in warm summer months, as you predicted it only tends to confirm that fomite transmission is not significant in transmission of Covid-19.

Thanks for your contribution here RC! Please correct me with my thanks.

Here are a couple of things that caught my eye and raised my curiosity regarding the high temperature of inactivation seen in Covid 19.

Yes it is.

This Article. It's an article about the inhibitory effect of HCQ on the first Sars Covid virus.

If rates did not slow as much as expected in warm summer months, as you predicted it only tends to confirm that fomite transmission is not significant in transmission of Covid-19.

Rates slowed but not like we see with influenza. The role of fomites is one of many unanswered questions along with the question of oral transmission. I assumed that fomite transmission risk is significant because I assumed that this is a perfect biological weapon. I assumed that since I was expected to work around it all day long in an ER and assuming anything different could turn into a fatal error in judgement.
