Absolute humidity, dry conditions tied to seasonal outbreaks of influenza

CORVALLIS, Ore. - The seasonal increase of influenza has long baffled scientists but a new study has found that seasonal changes of absolute humidity are the apparent underlying cause of these wintertime peaks. The study also found that the onset of outbreaks might be encouraged by anomalously...

The only variable that has shown to have a direct association with cases of seasonal viral respiratory illness spread is absolute humidity. This is based on a study done at Oregon State University where they compared the records over some number of years of respiratory illness cases to all recorded atmospheric variables.

Not sure why this isn't being looked at more closely, other than it supports the case that you ultimately can't stop these things. But it can give us better ideas on mitigation, like increasing humidity levels in enclosed spaces.

How COVID-19 Ended Flu Season Before It Started

In the third week of 2021, clinical laboratories nationwide tested 23,549 specimens for influenza. Of those, just 0.3 percent (65 tests) turned up positive — a…

In the third week of 2021, clinical laboratories nationwide tested 23,549 specimens for influenza. Of those, just 0.3 percent (65 tests) turned up positive — a number that is, to put it mildly, absolutely wild.

“Normally, this time of year, we’d be running 20 to 30 percent positive,” said Lynnette Brammer, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Domestic Influenza Surveillance team.

One thing to keep in mind. People say Trump didn't do this or that. That he had the power to keep it all from happening. If you hadn't noticed Trump didn't have the power to stop state governors from destroying their economies with shutdowns. Didn't have the power to make locals in NYC use the hospitals he provided. Didn't have the power to stop all the rioting last summer. Because if he did he certainly would have used it. A president isn't king, can't just snap his fingers. Obama said he was humbled by the limitations of his power. Hopefully some day some of you will realize Trump wasn't perfect but he was far better than you realized at the time. And in your zeal to remove Trump you've put in motion things that may be disastrous. And very soon.

You know if a Democrat was in power they would all be singing the reverse lyrics in unison.

So you have nothing to back up your statement? Typical.

There is abundant easily accessible reporting of how inaccurate the bogus statistical analysis of the sturgis rally impact on Chinese virus cases was.

Of course people who only consume liberal propaganda wouldn't know that. Carry on roadrunner.

Being in a cult must be cool. It would seem you just accept whatever you are told without proof. Good for you.

That is fantastic if it pans out. Science is good.

They are in phase one. I hope it passes the tests.
