Here's how winter could make the pandemic coronavirus even worse

The lower humidity means an increase in CVIV-19 cases, according to a new study.


As the temperatures are heated, many have a wonder optimism if the hot weather will bring thecoronavirus pandemic at a closure. Science, unfortunately, does not support thatSummer will not end the coronavirus, and there is another season on the horizon that could make the situation even more serious. While the experts predictsecond and third waves Virus, new research show that the end of the year could see a serious increase in cases of COVID-19. As things may seem now, a study suggests that winter could make the pandemic coronavirus even worse.

The student at the University of Sydney examined by peers published on June 2 in the journalCross-border and emerging diseases, found thisThe lower humidity was associated with more people positive for coronaviruses. More specifically, a decrease in humidity of 1% could increase the number of cases of COVID-19 of 6%. Since moisture falls significantly in winter, this search willing to believe that Coronavirus could become a seasonal virus - with winter like the season to be particularly vigilant during.

"COVID-19 is likely to be a seasonal disease that covers lower humidity periods", "Leader of the studyMichael district, an epidemiologist in the Sydney Veterinary Science School at Sydney University, said in a statement. "We have to think if it's winter, it could be Covid-19 times."

The researchers worked to determine a coronavirus correlation and weather, but the results are not promising for those who hope that the heat would have a serious impact on the slowdown in the propagation of the virus. As a recent study published in the journalClinical Infectious Diseases show,COVID-19 Case Death with warmer temperaturesbut only 52 degrees Fahrenheit. After that, the difference is insignificant.

What the study of the University of Sydney has been observed is that it is not the heat is moisture - or the absence of it. "As far as the climate is concerned, we found that the lower humidity is the main driver here, rather than cold temperatures," said Ward.

And there is a reason for that, he explained. "When moisture is lower, the air is drier and the aerosols are smaller," said Ward. "When you sneeze and if you touch these smaller infectious aerosols canStay suspended in the air for a long time. Which increases exposure to other people. When the air is wet and the aerosols are larger and heavier, they fall and touch faster surfaces. "

The good news is therefore that, while the warmer temperatures of the summer would have no impact on the transmission of COVID-19, the increased humidity could have a positive impact. On the side rocking, however, a low moisture can occur at any time of the year, which means that, while the study predicts winter will be worse, there could be an increased danger whenever the Moisture fall - if it is in winter, spring, summer or fall.
