Two people at work say that was the message this am by show. I think they misunderstood what they said but thought I’d ask
 
No. They said the opposite. Said they were seeing drastic reduction in the virus with increased heat and humidity.

They also said the infection rate in NY was much higher than they originally thought. They said about 20% of the state had it already. So....if my math is correct and they weren't lying about those numbers.... There are 19.5 million people in NY state. 20% would be 3.9 million. 20,800 people have died. Thus the actual death rate is roughly 0.5% and potentially much lower than that. A very different picture than the 2.5-4% picture that was painted. But of course they failed to mention that.

CNN this morning ridiculed the notion that heat could kill the virus. And also there is no effective treatment. Any of the drugs that trump has mentioned are dangerous and ineffective as far as treating the virus. We’re all going to die, and we should all be terrified about the situation the president has put us in.

I'm beginning to think it actually may be possible that the federal government doesn't have a sound plan for this yet .
 
The President of the United States of America said to shine a uv light inside the body. Later, he said to inject something that will kill the virus....like hand sanitizer.
As the 57 states comment by last potus. They all say stupid crap. But your trollin am I right..... you probably voted for Trump
 
The virus has a layer of fat around it which would have no ability to withstand heat + humidity, it would melt.

Of course that applies outdoors, not inside in the cold AC. So all things equal, odds of spreading the disease in outside activities-only should decrease.

I really don't give a shit about CNN and what they say but did one of the dangerous "drugs" that Trump mentioned happen to be injecting disinfectants?

I get it, they're Fake News and Trump reiterates it 10s or 100s of times a day publicly but let's not act like the guy standing up in front of them doesn't spew a whole bunch of bullshit with zero basis often enough. Maybe hold him to the same standard that you do the Liberal Media...considering he's the President and all.

Once again, I don't watch CNN to know exactly what they were discussing but could this FDA report (would you consider this agency to be biased?) be what they're referring to? Apparently this was just released this morning so I imagine so.

I wouldn’t refer to CNN for anything. Biggest disgrace along with MSNBC that I have ever seen. I enjoy watching Trump bait those idiots at his news conferences. They invented the term Fake News. They brought all this mistrust on themselves. Began the day Trump announced he was a candidate for President and their harassment of him hasn’t stopped.
 
Sadly the President made a total idiot of himself with the comments about light and disinfectant. He just can't help himself. Those briefings need to be official just the facts and done. I think many of his policies have been good but his stream of thought always scares the hell out of me. I don't need to hear it and I don't want to hear it. Just do your job and let the doctors do theirs and shut the hell up outside of that.

I don’t watch CNN either. I check their website headlines once per day to laugh at the fear mongering.

Ah shit...busted.

there are actually very early experimental treatments right now (not for COVID-19 but for other things) involving light activation of medication inside the body to increase effectiveness. Read a review article about it yesterday. The concept is there. The practice, not so much.

Any of the drugs that trump has mentioned are dangerous and ineffective as far as treating the virus.

I watch CNN exclusively and so glad Chris Cuomo is out of quarantine. That video of him coming out of his basement had me in tears. So happy for him.

Also discovered there was a death due to Wuhan Virus on Feb 6th... 23 days before the first official death.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes CNN invented fake news.

 
But don't you think he's like that all the time? I don't think his brain just malfunctions at press briefings.

I prefer to look at policies and his policies have largely been good. He hasn't gotten us into a major war and he's done a lot of good things. I don't like him as a person. I hate people who talk about themselves all the time as though they did something. But when faced with the alternative, he looks pretty good. Give me someone better to vote for and I will vote for them. It shouldn't be so hard to find someone better but the Democrats managed to find someone worse. All their choices were worse. That's an impressive feat if you ask me.

Yes it is, and it's deeply troubling to me that Biden is the best candidate the Democrats could come up with this time.

That was another Fake News Story. Cuomo had all ready been out of his basement looking at the new property he has purchased in the East Hamptons. He so bad wants to be like Trump that he made his entrance coming out of the basement instead of coming down the spiral stairs. Fits him perfectly.

First, they don’t know how many people are/were infected. Second, even the most dismal predictions in the US were 1-2% death rate, and that was assuming only 50% of the population became infected. If that # goes to, let’s say a 60% infection rate in the US and the death rate falls to .5%, that’s still over 1million people that will die in the US. Without a vaccine, this thing is going to get really ugly this fall after everything opens back up.
 
got to love throwing a thread out there and then watching it get hijacked by the usual suspects...... So they did not say this on the Today show? thank you

The deal is that heat and humidity don't actually "kill" the virus. What heat and humidity do is to cut what is called the "half life" of the virus. For instance, if the virus is in a location where it would live 12 hours, you add heat and humidity and the virus would only live 6 hours. So, one could say heat and humidity kills it and one could it doesn't kill it. And you both would be right. Heat and humidity absolutely do not kill the virus instantly. That doesn't happen.
