I think we should focus more on how the virus behaves depending weather. Nigeria is the perfect scenario to see how it deals with humid and hot weather.
So, if nCov19 dies out when it warms up, it the solution global warming?

Hey folks I'm re-posting this since I'd like us to keep track on the situation in Japan on the Corona Virus #4
Today I had to visit the hospital here and it was nearly empty. We have the most modern and up to date hospital possibly in Japan. The new addition (which maybe took over 4 years to build) is now going to handle an arrange of patients.
My doctor (which spent time with the wife and I ) that every day now they have meeting and drills for a possible handling of patients with the corona virus. So as the virus spreads around Japan, the hospitals that can and should handle patients are all having daily meetings and training exercises.
Question: Is your country too being prepared for this virus to be hitting your local hospital?
Here is my recent post as of today: Feb. 28 Friday Tokyo time this morning

10. Japan will now expand its virus testing system

18. Japan now can test 3800 cases a day now (why can't America)?
19. Japan as of yesterday on average test 960 a day for the virus
20. 193 people infected in Japan
21. lady infected 2 times (recurrence ) Dates: Jan 6 test postponed --Jan 29 test postive -- Feb 6 negative test---Feb 19 sick again--Feb 26 test positive again ( re-infection can hide in the throat and lungs)

Hi, just wondered why you think it's game over now (In a non confrontational way)
The article says that none have tested positive yet? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

This is the kind of American mentality we are dealing with here. People using old outdated info for reasons to downplay the situation.
