Studies have started to surface proving that the Coronavirus or Covid-19 has a smaller chance of survival during high-temperature seasons, which directly supports President Donald Trump's statement, "the heat generally speaking kills this kind of virus." Donald Trump knew what he was talking about when he did not spend much time rushing the movements against the coronavirus or Covid-19, knowing that the end of this virus or at least the delay of its infection could come this spring. The big question will still be if the temperature is high enough to eliminate this virus completely.
Donald Trump on Coronavirus
What is the temperature that accelerates infection rate?
If it has been proven that high temperatures can do severe damage to this virus and that a lower temperature would be the ideal environment for this virus to spread even faster. According to a study by San-Yat Sen University located in Guangdong province, the comfortable temperature in which this virus thrives at is 8.72 degrees Celsius or 47.70 degrees Fahrenheit! This just goes to show that the widespread of this virus was indeed contributed by the comfortable temperature in which these viruses thrive on.
The spread of this virus has been growing faster in cold countries rather than in hot countries
Now that everything makes sense, we can see the rapid spread of this virus within countries that host a colder temperature as opposed to countries that strive in a higher temperature. The spread of this virus is not completely attributed to temperature, but the temperature is indeed one of the major factors affecting its infection rate. We can see that not all cold countries have been affected yet, as some country's temperatures may also be way too cold for this virus to survive.
Do not get your hopes too high up yet
Another study by Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health has been able to find substantial evidence that this virus transmits faster in countries with humid conditions as well, either cold or hot! This makes for an interesting mix as some countries are naturally cold but humid, while the same is true for the countries with humid but higher temperatures as well. The studies have yet to find out what specific temperatures have specific effects on the coronavirus or Covid-19 to give us more data on how to fight the virus through the use of temperature itself!
Spring will not be able to wipe out the virus completely
Although spring is coming soon, it may not be hot enough to wipe out the virus completely, but the good thing about the spring's temperature is that it may be the perfect time to counter the virus since the infection rate will go down due to higher temperatures. With a crippled virus due to the high temperatures, scientists may now be able to counter the existing infected thoroughly and with better chances because of the advantage of temperature itself! Donald Trump was right about needing high temperatures to battle the coronavirus or Covid-19. The big battle against this virus will commence this spring!
