When it's cold, people cover up, stay indoors more, less active. Houses have doors and windows closed, less fresh air circulating. Cold, is also exhausting, burn a lot of calories to maintain body temperature, in addition to usual activities. People are just more vulnerable to infections during cold weather. Lot more to it, than UV light.

Maybe you could compare seasonal influenza levels with the % of the population and the amount of ozone in the ozone layer? That would be scientific.

I've already got enough projects to keep me busy. My job, is an essential service, so no mandatory vacation time either. You seem to be the ozone-expert here, maybe you can tie it in with your climate change research. May be gets some bonus research bucks.

Here in Florida, we don't go through long periods of cold, even then, it not bad enough to keep many people indoors. We still see plenty of seasonal cold and flu. Mostly, it comes down, from the sloppy, northern states, with people wanting to escape the snow and ice for a while.

Supplying a convenience store isn't an essential service. It's an expensive one that people should avoid. They'd save money for better things like hobbies/interests.

That's something that I'm actually pursuing. That's because the EU's carbon neutral policy of burning trees seems to be supported by the IPCC's own report.
At the same time NASA has observed something about atmospheric chemistry that they also do not understand. And if yo don't get it Harvey, if what I'm pursuing works then we would need to improve carbon capture. And I think that can be accomplished economically or as you would say, On the Cheap.
As for me, since most likely universities would pursue things based on the experiment that I'd like to see tried, I'd probably have to find some other way to earn a living.

In Washington, convenience stores are considered an essential service, since they carry drugs, food, and often gasoline.

You've gotta love the Ol' US of A! Convenience is an essential service!

This is just an FYI. If I can get my experiment tried and it works, I get to "coin" a new term in physics because the experiment would suggest a previously undiscovered mechanism which acts as an oxidizer in our atmosphere. The term I happen to like is G-lytics or g-lytics in which the term "lytics" I would be using to represent transformation and not degradation. The G or g would represent gravity.
As for beer, after doing some wood working today, I will go to my local Kroger's and get myself a pizza and some beer to wash it down with. A Speedway is about 1/4 of a mile down the road and while many people do like the convenience of shopping in a small store, the walk from the parking lot and around the store is also cardiovascular exercise. I don't park near the front of the store.

Also, if I get the surgery I want as a result, could you imagine me applying for a job in the same warehouse that you work in? I have years of experience. After all, if healthy I would probably need to look for work again, right?
Kind of why my best bet might to become an environmental advocate but that doesn't pay very well. It's about like what I'm doing at the moment, right?

I doubt seriously that you could pass the physical, not to mention, I'm sure you are not physically up to the task, or could be, to survive the first week. Not sure what the current standard is these days, but it use to be 90 days, to pull your weight. Lots of people in their 20's don't last more than a few weeks. I didn't have a tough time going back to work, after my surgery, because I'm sort of restless, and don't sit around long. Spent much of the 10 weeks I was off, working around the house, working on my SUV. It hurt sometimes, but I got through it. Better than sitting around, and I knew I need to stay active, or I'd pay for it at work. The last 2-3 weeks, I was pretty much pain-free, and could have gone to work. The doctor was firm on the 10 weeks, no light duty (never mentioned, I hadn't followed that advice at home).

Far as I know, there is no one working out in the warehouse, with a crap-sack strapped to their side. Not sure if that level of physical activity is doctor approved. There are probably jobs there, you might be able to do, but they aren't generally entry-level, unless nobody wants them. We aren't automated, like Amazon, most of the work, is actually physical lifting.

I can do the work in most any area of the warehouse, but have doubt that I could gain enough speed to make the production standard. I stuck with my current position, because I don't have a standard. There isn't one, mostly because I get it done, without any concerns or complaints (mostly). Everyone downstream, have no problem making their production expectations, or better.

Harvey, it really shows no character when you attack for someone being handicapped.
This is something I really don't understand about people. It seems if you (people who have had an easy life, not you specifically but in the plural. Thou is actually as an example my saying Harvey or I can say thou. And you is plural in proper English meaning a group of people that I am addressing, ie., if I say you then I am addressing this forum or all peoples reading my post and if I say thou then I am addressing the person that the post is directed towards) have nothing to overcome then you appreciate nothing. This could be why I find having different interests pretty cool. Maybe that's where I should be thanking thou for showing me how good I have it?

I just told it to you straight. It's not a job for out-of-shape, basically lazy people. It takes 2-3 weeks for active, physically fit people, to adjust to the activities, assigned to them. It's rough starting out for everyone. Your age alone, is handicap enough, makes it unlikely you'd have what it takes. Mentally, I doubt you have the strength to push through, too focused on making excuses, not really looking to find solutions. Just the expectation of other people doing the work, you don't feel able to do, because of your disabilities. I get hurt, but I still figure out how to work, until I heal, and had very few exceptions. I tough for a few weeks, painful, but I know sitting on my ass, won't make it heal any quicker.
