"Research shows that outdoor air is a natural disinfectant. Fresh air can kill the flu virus and other harmful germs. Equally, sunlight is germicidal and there is now evidence it can kill the flu virus."

"outdoor air is a natural disinfectant. Fresh air can kill the flu virus and other harmful germs." Huh?

HEAT killed other viruses. A few stories we have no idea if that works with COVID19 and will find out.

Here’s the paper that article references(it’s footnote #5). Seems quite a leap from the paper to the conclusion drawn in the article.

Sure, sunlight is great at killing germs, as well as the natural VitD boost. Fresh air is just what happens when you're out getting sunlight...
