what would change things is a vaccine, guess time alone won't do it.

what would change things is a vaccine, guess time alone won't do it.
- oefrha 7y agoAir temperature could possibly do it or at least contribute, as was the case with SARS in 2003.
- DyslexicAtheist 7y agowouldn't that be only a local effect though, e.g. Southern vs Northern Hemispheres?
- oefrha 7y agoThe Northern Hemisphere account for ~90% of the world's population; the percentage living beyond 23.5°S is very small. It is entirely conceivable that the epidemic is put under control before it gets too cold for those people.
- ulfw 7y agoIt's 35C in Bangkok, 36C across Malaysia and 32C in Singapore. How much hotter do you think it would have to get to make that virus die out?
- oefrha 7y agoAs far as I can tell the virus isn’t spreading like crazy in Bangkok, Malaysia, or Singapore. Singapore had it way worse in 2003, still the SARS virus withered came June.
- ValentineC 7y agoMost Singapore buildings and its public transport system are fully A/C. It's similar for Malaysia and Thailand since they're still in the tropics, except those countries are less dense.
