Is it true that the virus can't survive heat like in summer it will go away

 

it's almost sure that's not true, unfortunately...

 

it looks that at 37 degrees (Celsius) this damned virus can survive 2 days outside human body, which means, if true, that season change won't help much...we will have to wait until we have a worldwide available vaccine to make it a "normal" flu-alike disease and keep it under reasonable control...

 

by the way, today's Italian numbers are: new people officially positive to the virus test: +529 than yesterday (might increase a bit, as there are still a few tests to be completed), total = 10149 cases (deceased and healed included); total number of deceased people: 631 (+168 than yesterday); 280 healed people from yesterday...

yes, but most of them died because of other kind of disease...the coronavirus only gave them a final push, but it wasn't the true reason of those deaths...

 

however, of the 600+ deceased people in Italy, about 60% was 80 years old or more, 32% is between 70 and 79 years old, 8% is between 60 and 69 years old and 2% is between 50 and 59 years old...

 

only a bunch of men and women below 50 died and all of them were already experiencing other lethal disease, with virus playing only a relatively small role in their death...

Which is a thing that our media should start emphasizing, otherwise... panic! Panic everywhere!

Italian data aren't exactly, some laboratory didn't sent in time the datas

15th case in Croatia... But importantly it's the first not directly connected to Italy. This one comes from Austria.
