This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Correct. It's pure physics -- water in air combines with by btd
the water coming out of the body to form larger droplets that then fall to the ground faster combined with more overall water diluting the virus more on surfaces.
For me, it was the first time I heard a really good reason why warmer weather affects the spread of viruses / causes seasonal periods.
So -- it could be that places are explicitly instructed to not use air conditioning or to set it at 85 or some such value to purposely let more humidity exist inside.
Above is also why they talked yesterday during the presidential conference that the expect a 2nd wave in Q4 after a slowdown in Q3 that's the direct result of the current isolation methods and warmer weather.
