Hoping the summer will kill coronavirus? A new study says that we have gone to this point

Research shows that higher temperatures make a difference - but only at a certain point.


We all know thatThe influenza season falls in colder months, with fewer cases coming in spring and especially summer.

The good news? The researchers found that theThe rate of infections has decreased Slightly like climbed temperatures - but only at a certain point. Above 52 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature did not make a significant difference. In most parts of the country, we already appreciate warmer days. The logic would therefore say that we have already lived the dip in cases that this research predicts.

The same study also examined whether the UV rays of the sun or precipitation seemed to have an effect. The rate of infection was slightly lowered as the UV index climbed, but not enough to conclude that the summer swallows the virus. The precipitation, meanwhile, do not affect the coronavirus distribution at all.

"Based on our analysis, the modest [between temperature and infection rate] suggests that it is unlikely that the transmission of the disease slowly slows down the summer months of the increase in temperature only", said the first author of the study.Shiv T. Sehra, MD, Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Mount Auburn Hospital and Assistant Medicine Professor at Harvard School of Medicine, by science daily.
