This is absolutely a bad news, covid 19 will stay for a long time.

It may survive high temps but not if caused by direct sunlight

US government experiments with simulations to show the coronavirus can 'quickly' be destroyed by SUNLIGHT

I'd like to see someone test the viruses ability to survive at 35 degrees C and 80% humidity on non wet surfaces.

 

Would also be interesting to see two similar sets of samples.

One left in direct sunligt and one left in the shade.

 

Just to see if the natural UV does something or not.

Yet another irrelevant test in a lab setting. Monkey kidney cells, for crying out loud! Who funds that nonsense? What we need to know is how long it survives in real-world scenarios. Door knobs, in the air, the likes.

Bring the virus indoors , especially with air con and it will transmit it seems as was the recent case at the Thai boxing arena where it infected many of the audience  .  Different story out in the 40c heat and high UV

That's odd considering Viruses are NOT alive in the first place and replication requires living A2 Receptor cells.. Which the research seems to conveniently leave out the fact that human cells start to denature at 106 degrees Fahrenheit or 41 Celsius. So at 60 degrees Celsius or 140 degree Fahrenheit it seems rather arbitrary that we're worried about whether or not the damn Virus will cause issues if your internal temperature is beyond 41 degrees... but I digress, I get the point that the discovery is the "holy <deleted> it's still an issue" moment! 

 

But hey, great to know something that IS NOT LIVING is still capable of kicking our butt if we lick the surface of a dirty hot frying pan! Thank you for the enlightenment.

Agreed, forget the poor monkey,

It's not the heat,  it's UV from exposure to sunlight that Neutralizes the virus as it's not a living organism like a bacteria. Get on out, Surfs up and or Tee off time, Tennis anyone ? Bikini therapy is recommended ..

Also the same article;

 

Conclusion;

 

No heat doesn't kill it, but it's making it less effective. As we all know. Covid-19 still spreads but significantly slower, basically killing itself off. 

 

Basically this research DOES support why infection rates are many times lower than in European Countries - (or colder Chinese regions)

But China has only had a few thousand cases according to the CCP

Sunlight is comprised of three types of UV, UVC has been shown to stop the virus from replicating, the problem being the UVC type is really bad for us too.

General sunlight may be playing a part but is not necessarily a reliable prevention method.

Or they raised it to 60 and let it cool, ie it wasn't at 60 for a long time, and, it was in an environment that it liked.

Stick the virus on a non living surface, eg a flat top table or the skin of your car in the sun out here and maybe it won't do so well.

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3079831/coronavirus-can-survive-long-exposure-high-temperature-threat       Professor Remi Charrel and colleagues at the Aix-Marseille University in southern 

 heated the virus that causes Covid-19 to 60 degrees Celsius (140 Fahrenheit) for an hour and found that some strains were still able to replicate.   From last Tuesday's SCMP-I linked in Post #7. An hour is a long time.

Didn't the Minister of Health say, some weeks ago, that when the hot season arrives this virus will be obliterated by the high temperatures?

Seems like it's true. 22nd of March, 188 new cases. 22nd April (today), 15 new cases. It's going down as fast as it was going up this time a month ago.

Not according to President Trump in tonight's speech.

The virus doesn't replicate unless it's inside a body so UV doesn't stop it replicating.
