Chart shows the coronavirus spreading slowly in tropical countries

Living in a warmer environment doesn’t mean you can’t catch coronavirus. But it sure seems to help.

High Temperature and High Humidity Reduce the Transmission of COVID-19 according to a paper that investigates how air temperature and humidity influence the transmission of COVID-19.

Analysts at Jefferies plotted coronavirus cases in temperate climates — everything north of latitude 23 degrees and south of 23 degrees — and compared them with countries in the tropical and subtropical areas. The brokerage excluded China, where the virus first emerged, from the analysis.

High temperature and high relative humidity significantly appear to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, respectively, even after controlling for population density and GDP per capita of cities.

Chart shows, there’s a big difference.

This result is consistent with the fact that the high temperature and high humidity significantly reduce the transmission of influenza. It indicates that the arrival of summer and rainy season in the northern hemisphere can effectively reduce the transmission of the COVID-19.

Maintain a strong immune system to fight off the coronavirus

Posted on by

According to the most recent information from the CDC, for most people, the immediate risk of being exposed to the coronavirus (COVID-19) is thought to be low. Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an illness that has infected more than 100,000 worldwide — including more than 650 confirmed cases in the United States — and killed more than 3,000.

Many of those affected by coronavirus develop only a mild illness, while some develop no illness at all. That may be an indication of what happens when the virus meets a well-functioning immune system.

When it comes to keeping our immune systems healthy, a lot of it comes down to healthy habits. So no, you are not doomed if infected by the coronavirus; Most are sailing through the epidemic just fine.

It is nothing you haven’t heard before, but it certainly bears repeating during this cold and flu season: If you want to meet the coronavirus or any infectious agent fully armed eat well, sleep well and de-stress.
