As someone else mentioned, warmer climate alone doesn't stop Wuhan virus from spreading and killing people. I'd be very interested in studying the effects of sunbathing though! Several hours, many days in a row. Not to get a good early season base tan, although it would do that too. It might boost our immune system so much the virus doesn't stand a chance? We lose the ability to create vitamin D via exposure to sunlight with age. Vitamin D is a key component of our immune system. Who knows what else sunlight does? Sunlight is magic. A well designed test might show 25-50% reduction in infection and also that much reduction of symptoms in the already infected? Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Can't believe New Yorkers would be so irresponsible as to flee, except - of course they would. New Yorkers gonna New York.
Lol I didn't even look at your username in this discussion. Door County was the first part of WI I had ever heard discussed, and that only because my Mom was on a big trip and had gone through there. So I learned what a fish boil is. I've never gone sailing there. Disappointed nobody rents sailboats there, or in the region. Have to get to the east shore of the big lake, and they'll rent Hobie cats there
There is some reason to think the virus doesn't like hot steamy weather. In those areas where it's humid as well as hot, it would be interesting to see if the spread begins to slow.
I have read this too. In my experience extraordinarily low humidity is good for my health, while high humidity damn near kills me. My bias is to expect our arid west to be a good area to recover, but yes it will be good to have data on this variable.
Also, a pallet of goods in cardboard boxes, will direct sunlight reduce the time this virus can live on the surface?
If we aren't careful we might just reinfect everybody simply from cargo.
I really like the idea of everybody having a supply of HCQ

When the sun is above 50 degrees from the horizon, you get UV B which helps you make vitamin D, and the UV is tough on viruses
Ha! The sun rarely gets that high here. Just starting to now, but only briefly. Interesting fact
It will around noon in mid-April

I'd take those odds. Sunshine State looks good from WI, lol
