[quote=ltsdd]Oman and the UAE each has a few cases. Temperatures is ~75F. MERS outbreak started in the middle east in the dead of the summer in 2012.
According to Harvard SITN:
The results from the study suggest that influenza actually survives longer at low humidity and low temperatures. At 43°F with very low humidity, most of the virus was able to survive more than 23 hours, whereas at high humidity and a temperature of 90°F, survival was diminished at even one hour into incubation[/quote]
Sorry, I was quoting morning temps. Mumbai’s temp reaches in the 90’s around 2-3pm, humidity is around 33%.
Italy, Iran, UAE, Oman are all around the 40-50ies right now, though high humidity.
Would be an interesting experiment though indoors….Crank up the heat to 90+F and run some humidifiers….
