A statement for the ages: Some medical experts "suggested that I not to talk publicly about herd immunity because people might become complacent .... But scientists shouldn’t try to manipulate the public by hiding the truth." @MartyMakary https://www.wsj.com/articles/well-have-herd-immunity-by-april-11613669731?reflink=desktopwebshare_twitter … via @WSJ

Living patterns aren't changing yet, it's still winter. There's no reason to assume we're going to return to the mean -- the CDC has been telling us that actual cases are at least 5x detected. If so, we could be seeing a decrease because of increasing immunity.
-
When we had 2.5M cases total CDC said it's 10x than detected. Obviously 10x is not true, 5x is very unlikely and maybe even 2x is unlikely.

Find a high school teacher and ask them to explain to you what the “jet stream” is and how it’s affected by climate change.

Besides living patters I thin it was proven in the lab that the virus is more stable in colder temperatures (stays longer on surfaces).

The lower the relative humidity, the drier the air, and the higher the evaporation rate. Droplet partly evaporates when it's flying from one person to another. It's more physics than biology or medicine.

Here is the study from 1962: Airborne transmission of influenza in mice. Infection is enhanced in lower humidity and diminished ventilation. https://www.nature.com/articles/1951129a0.pdf …pic.twitter.com/hjvfqRby7y

Doesn’t diminished ventilation tell the whole story?
