Covid-19:scientists Had To Bring The Temperature To Boiling Point To Kill Virus by valarmorghulis: 7:59pm On Apr 14, 2020
For those saying covid-19 cannot survive Nigerian harsh weather, we are all wrong




Professor Remi Charrel and colleagues at the
Aix-Marseille University in southern France heated the virus that causes Covid-19 to 60 degrees Celsius (140 Fahrenheit) for an hour and found that some strains were still able to replicate.
The scientists had to bring the temperature to almost boiling point to kill the virus completely, according to their non-peer-reviewed paper released on bioRxiv.org on Saturday. The results have implications for the safety of lab technicians working with the virus.

The team in France infected African green monkey kidney cells, a standard host material for viral activity tests, with a strain isolated from a patient in Berlin, Germany. The cells were loaded into tubes representing two different types of environments, one “clean” and the other “dirty” with animal proteins to simulate biological contamination in real-life samples, such as an oral swab.

After the heating, the viral strains in the clean environment were thoroughly deactivated. Some strains in the dirty samples, however, survived.

We are talking of two different medium ,the medium the scientist used in the experiment is liquid and the general medium where transmission takes place is air and other things are slso involved like humidity ,pressure etc which are eithet present in in different measured or not present in the control experiment.
Until a test is carried out in an environment that is similar to our environment then we might agree .
Beside the scientist are testing for other things and not wether they can survive in hot weather , but you are just trying to sway the opinion to your way of thinking which is wrong

The scientist are clearly testing for other things and please show me in the right up where hot weather was mentioned

Hot weather is different from hot water
Beside the scientist you mention are scholars just like you snd me dnd stop looking down on yourself.

you don't understand, they had to kill the virus strains at boiling point which is 100 degree Celsius. The normal environmental temperature is not upto 50 degree Celsius. Thus, the virus can survive in our environment. I hope I have enlightened you.also I want to educate you that you can also get virus infections even from liquid, if it is infected example of such is hepatitis virus. It's also possible for the coronavirus since it thrives where the temp is low. But won't die until you get to the boiling point.
