    When the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States in March, White House officials’ hopes seemed high that summer would stem the tide of COVID-19. During an April 24 White House coronavirus task force briefing, William Bryan, the acting undersecretary for science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security, touted “emerging evidence” that reportedly showed SARS-CoV-2 would die more quickly in the presence of sunlight and humidity.

    Scientists were dubious that this would have a major effect, pointing to countries with already-warm weather that were then experiencing outbreaks. Now mid-July, with over 3.4 million U.S. cases and record-breaking daily cases in some of the warmest states, scientists are realizing their predictions were right — and are shining a light on what the officials may have missed.

    “When you have a new virus and the population lacks any immunity to that virus, it’s just going to spread really well, and the climate is not going to matter much,” Bakers tells Yahoo Life. “We made that prediction in May and are now seeing all the cases come up in Florida and Texas, these places that are very warm, have lots of UV light, all these kinds of climate variables that people were saying might slow down the virus. But that ended up not being the case. It was sort of sad but interesting to see those predictions come true.”

        It takes a special kind of dimwit to consistently misinterpret, misrepresent and misunderstand simple information. Seems y’all can’t help yourselves

          While Virus Surges, Georgia Governor Sues Atlanta Mayor to Block Mask Rules


          The New York Times
          By Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs and Campbell Robertson
          July 17, 2020


          Throughout the season of the pandemic, governors and local leaders have bickered, at times fiercely, over the best way to safeguard the public health. But perhaps no place has seen these disputes break out into hostility quite like Georgia this week, which culminated in the governor filing a lawsuit against the mayor of the state’s capital and economic engine.

          On Friday, a day after suing the mayor of Atlanta for mandating virus-fighting rules that were stricter than his own, Gov. Brian Kemp said he would not stand down as the mayor’s “disastrous policies threaten the lives and livelihood of our citizens.”

          Mr. Kemp, a Republican, stood by his decision to sue Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and City Council members over their move to require masks and revert the city to the most restrictive reopening phase.

          Ms. Bottoms, a Democrat who has tested positive for the virus herself, responded on Friday by welcoming the fight.

          “We’ll see him in court,” she said on NBC’s “Today” show, claiming the governor had “overstepped his bounds” by challenging her order.

          The fighting words were exchanged as virus cases in Georgia reached higher than ever this week, with an average of more than 3,100 cases announced each day. About 1,100 of those, on average, are being identified in the Atlanta area, across four of the state’s most populous counties. Deaths in the state are also rising again after weeks of improvement.

          There have been feuds in other states over masks and restrictive measures meant to stamp out the virus, but in Georgia the clash between Mr. Kemp and Ms. Bottoms has come at what may be the worst possible time, when state residents are falling ill at record numbers and are looking to their leaders for guidance.
