Warm Weather doesn't effect this virus - this is not the flu (from my critical medical news blog)

Warm Weather won't stop this virus

Warmer weather may be worse. Australia saw it spreading in warm weather
(77 high/64 low in Sydney) and it is warm in southern states right now but
everyone is getting it. Since people will have cabin fever they will
surge outside in warm weather.

The average high in Baton Rouge is 74 and the average low is 54 but there are
834 confirmed cases, so probably about 5000 just in LA because only New York
is testing a significant percentage of the population.

Experts agree that “almost” isolating is NOT isolating. Standing within 6 ft of
anyone you aren’t already living with is dangerous.

Those with blood type A are at higher risk than type O.

Data from China shows men are at higher risk, but that may
just be the smoking culture - a lot more men in China smoke
than women, or than here.

This is going to be hard, VERY HARD. Keep in contact with friends
and relatives as much as possible, but do it on the phone or even
better use SKYPE which is a FREE videophone.

It works on my Kindle using WiFi and every computer which has
a camera and microphone, also iPhone and most smartphones.

The software is free and already on many computers, person to person
video is also free to any skype anywhere in the world, I video conference
with my editor in Australia.
