The virus will subside as the weather heats up across the country.

The US has and will learn from the mistakes made offshore and here.

My crystal ball says 3-4 months before new cases start to decline.

Population density of China is 21,645 per sq km.

Population density of the US is 35 per sq km.

Apples and auto parts!

Not true. Heat has no effect one way or another causing it to subside.
Read correct information...
COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in areas with hot and humid climates

I've never understood this.

Most people spend most of their time, summer or winter, in buildings with a temperature that remains about the same.

I think by early to mid May, this starts to fade and get under control. April will be the peak month for cases, most likely.

Our economy cannot be under lockdown for longer than a month or two--max, unless folks want to start looking at losing their jobs, losing their cars, homes, and going bankrupt--seriously.

Jobs, homes, cars, can be replaced...Lives cannot.


If the numbers are right about how far we are behind Europe, Italy, we have close to 4-6 months before we are out of it, but they need to get tough on quarantine, the sooner they do this, the sooner it will be over.

How can you 'lockdown' if you lose your home and become homeless? How can you get another home if you don't have a job? How do you get a job if you are supposed to be on lockdown and don't even have an address to write down on the application? What's the point of being alive if you're forced to live in the streets? How do you keep yourself washed up and clean to prevent getting sick if you're homeless and everything with a restroom is shut down?
