This is a very interesting and, if you think too much about it, worrying article.

Can I just check with you first that I got the gist of it. There's always been a belief that maybe the virus was not as contagious in warmer weather. But what this report is suggesting is that the virus is just as contagious, but it is not as dangerous and doesn't attack the bodies systems in much the same way as it does in colder weather.

They are using this to explain why the mortality rate in some of these warmer countries are nowhere near as high as the European death rate during the colder months of February and March.

Does this not throw a question mark over some of the treatment breakthroughs, particularly those in the UK.? These (the likes of dexamethasone) were announced in June/July. is it possible that the effectiveness of these drugs has been overemphasised by the virus being less lethal due to the warmer weather?

There are a lot of articles being produced at the moment predicting a very hard autumn and winter and a very severe second wave across the UK and Europe. I'm hoping that controlling the spread of the disease through social distancing and track and trace will prevent this happening.

Mate of mine works as a male escort/stripper and messaged the boys few days ago if we fancy a date night end of the month in town. Not usually bothered meeting a few of the lads but knowing all the people the lad in question has likely been bucking / come into contact with during lockdown makes me apprehensive if im honest.

Dunno what im gonna do.

Think we're just going to have to learn to live alongside this [Poor language removed] thing - It's not going away anytime soon (probably ever)

Australia had more new cases than us yesterday - They were one of the standard bearers of how to deal with this thing - Guess they're murderers too now
