O/T Coronavirus Thread

Positive. A big press conference due here tomorrow with all the major dignitaries and I get the feeling we're about to be restricted in our movements here in Washington State and particularly where I live and work close to/in Seattle. Most people are already staying home anyway but the stroppy Americans are bound to be quoting civil rights and threatening lawsuits. Good job I have good broadband at home to keep all you MMadsters in check

Rudy gobert Utah saints basketball player. What a cok.

For those who don't know. He did a interview a few days ago. At the end of interview he touched every microphone to show he's not scared of catching c9.
Yesterday he tested positive for Corona virus.

What's the viral infection int soutern hemisphere? Is the heat of a summer going to stop it or slow it down?

[KerrAvon]

Heat does not directly affect the virus. Transmission rates are likely to be lower when it is warm enough for people to be outdoors as opposed to being gathered together inside.

We're only seeing the effects of the virus in the northern hemispere on the news as you expect but with spring and summer just a month away will we see a natural decrease of folk with the virus?

It would be interesting to see what's going on down under wouldn't you think?

[KerrAvon]

Transmission rates may fall very marginally, but not to a degree that would make a difference.

Tom Hanks has just been taken I'll in Australia with it.

Actually, probably very easily. With iFollow every game is already streamed online to people overseas. With cloud computing scaling such systems is now trivial at the click of a button.

They'd just need to get every ticket holder set up with an active iFollow account.
