Democrat governors won't like this news but I do!
Sunlight destroys virus quickly, new govt. tests find, but experts say pandemic could last through summer
Jana Winter and Sharon Weinberger-
Yahoo NewsApril 17, 2020, 8:07 PM UTC
Preliminary results from government lab experiments show that the coronavirus does not survive long in high temperatures and high humidity, and is quickly destroyed by sunlight, providing evidence from controlled tests of what scientists believed — but had not yet proved — to be true.
A briefing on the preliminary results, marked for official use only and obtained by Yahoo News, offers hope that summertime may offer conditions less hospitable for the virus, though experts caution it will by no means eliminate, or even necessarily decrease, new cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. The results, however, do add an important piece of knowledge that the White House’s science advisers have been seeking as they scramble to respond to the spreading pandemic.
The study found that the risk of “transmission from surfaces outdoors is lower during daylight” and under higher temperature and humidity conditions. “Sunlight destroys the virus quickly,” reads the briefing.
While that may provide some good news about the outlook for outdoor activities, the Department of Homeland Security briefing on the results cautions that enclosed areas with low humidity, such as airplane cabins, “may require additional care to minimize risk of transmission.”
In a statement to Yahoo News, the DHS declined to answer questions about the findings and strongly cautioned against drawing any conclusions based on unpublished data.

So on top of washing our hands and not sneezing on each other we should probably fart outside.
Good copy.

I've read and heard the sunlight scenario a few places and locally they've been saying for quite a while that summer will naturally diminish it. It lives in moisture (snot etc) and the virus has a weak envelope (skin). Dry it out and its "skin" breaks and its done for quickly. Intense sunlight can kill it in minutes. That they say is one of the reasons flu season is in the cooler times of the year.

This is on surfaces, correct?

This is on surfaces, correct? Yes. If you're infected its within your body sunlight won't do anything. But stray virus on surfaces in the sun will die. The type of surface has a bearing on how fast. A hard surface will stop the virus from drying out on the underside right away. If the surface is porous it will dry out more quickly.

And wearing a mask will prevent the sunlight from getting on your face to kill the virus. Brilliant.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I would surmise that airborne aerosol (cough etc) will be suseptable to sunlight and heat to some extent too.

Leaving your shopping mask on the dashboard of your car in the sunlight might be a good way to disinfect it.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

Leaving your shopping mask on the dashboard of your car in the sunlight might be a good way to disinfect it. There is a Texas company disinfecting masks (&other stuff) w/ (pure)UV light... Another company uses hydrogen peroxide.. (They both oxidize so if you spritz the outside with Hydrogen peroxide and leave it on your dashboard you may be better off) Think of a mask like a refrigerator water filter. It eventually breaks thru...but can be "regenerated".. But if you only use it when you are exposed to a majority of other people's air... It will last longer.. I saw a lady sitting alone in her car in a mask (dumb) The reporters standing 6 feet from anyone wearing masks while broadcasting are actually wasting masks that could be used in "high-risk" conditions like an emergency room.... Fresh air is good for you, insinuated bibs, a mask can keep things as well as it keep things out.....
