I think that they are measuring the correct thing. It’s useful to know how temperature affects the molecular structure of the virus. From a quick glance at the study, they aren’t trying to determine how weather is going to affectHuman behavior, but I’m sure it will be misunderstood this way.
- belorn 6y agoDo the molecular structure of spike protein of any seasonal flue change based on temperature? As I understand it, we don't fully understand why seasonal flu is seasonal. The popular suspects are: A change in behavior of people. The decline in the amount of ultraviolet radiation (that damage or kills the virus). That drier air lowers the body defense against respiratory virus infections. That decomposition rate of viruses occur slower in lower temperatures. And finally the lover levels of vitamin D in colder climates. Does this study provide any evidence in regard to any of those theories?
