Cold and flu don't go dormant in the spring, people still get infected the entire year. The difference, is that people aren't as densely packed together, indoors, which is more conducive for airborne respiratory infections.

The economic impact, will last, just as long as the threat is hyped by the media, politicians, or anyone wanting to profit, from the epidemic. Long as it's headline news, people are still going to panic, and make irrational choices.

In the mid-1980s, a group of Yora tribespeople who made contact with loggers in their region in the Peruvian Amazon were first infected by influenza and later came down with pneumonia and other secondary infections. Without antibiotics, "the old people died and all the young kids died," Hill says. A subsequent study by medical anthropologist Glenn Shepard of the Paraense Emilio Goeldi Museum in Belém, Brazil, revealed that some 300 people died, between 50% and 60% of the population.

Have you tried a UV lamp for you skin condition? There are UV LEDs, of quite a few wavelengths, and wattage. They really aren't super expensive, or difficult to wire up. Electronics aren't that hard to work with anymore, everything you need comes in modules, just hook up some wires, apply power.

You are probably right about some of the winter factors. Diet, and physical activity. We also burn a lot of calories, just to maintain body temperature. I live in Florida, and very rarely catch a cold, and the only flu came from a bottle. I drink more than an occasional beer, maybe two at the most, anymore.

Mostly though, I think the viruses spread quicker and easier, when there are people sheltering from the cold and wet, during the winter months.

I know who he was. Back in the day I used to read vitamin c forum and I honestly belived that this could be the magic pill for anything health related. All of those theories about humans that have lost the ability to produce vitamin c on their own and animals whose organisms will up their vitamin c production through the roof during the illness seemed legit. So one time I started to megadose with vitamin c to bowel tolerance when I got flu and I hoped that illness is going to be easy this time. But it did not matter at all . I felt the same as always. I popped many pills during the first week( about 20 grams per day) and eventually I felt that my teeth are going to melt if I continue to pop those pills. So I backed down with pill popping and took only one 500mg pill per day. At least with me the megadosing was not effective.

Thanks to the Good Lord that we have IBDM in this forum. With him we no longer need encyclopedias or consult experts. He knows everything, any subject, and he is always right.

ITN,
Could you show the math that causes you to conclude things about the novel corona virus COVID 19? Since this is a new virus you haven't shown it in any of your 10,000 posts.

I was mistaken once, so you can't write "always." Into the Night corrected me and we put the record straight.

Thanks Into the Night. It's good to have you on this board. I'm sure this is what Third world guy is trying to say.

All the math and statistics are estimates and projections, based on known cases. Since most of those known cases, 80% barely notice symptoms, or thought it was a seasonal cold, there is no way of knowing the total number of cases. Testing is becoming more available, and we are going to start seeing some huge increases in known cases. I don't see it as the virus start spreading quicker, just more people being tested.

He's already shown it in other threads about the corona virus.
