BREAKING:China confirms 9 dead from corona virus and 440 infected

[MrFrog]

You cannot assume or guess things. I don't think anyone has made a study on this Covid virus. But normally a Coronavirus is susceptible to temperature. A normal virus is made of nucleic acid, inside a protein shell called the capsid. A coronavirus has an external membrane outside the shell. This membrane is heat sensitive.

So, in effect the survival of the virus itself declines with the increase of temperature - but not it's ability to infect.

Studies with SARS have shown that it remains quite stable at 4 deg C, but lose its effectiveness in three days at 37 deg, and survives only for 15 mins at 70 degrees below zero.
At 4 deg C , it was found that the SARS virus remained active for 28 days!

Recent Scientific Research on Covid-19

If it interests anyone these are a few of the recent scientific findings...

It's known that Covid-19 shares over 80 percent of its DNA with SARS virus... However, a team of Chinese researchers found that, unlike SARS though, the novel Coronavirus has a section of genes that are absent from the SARS genome. In fact, they bear resemblance to genes found in HIV and Ebola. These genes may encode for a different pathway targeting the protein furin on human cells, which is how HIV and Ebola attack.
This could make Covid-19 up to 1,000 times better at binding to human cells than SARS.

Note this is similar to what a team of Indian researchers found about a month ago. They stated "Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag”, suggesting that some HIV genes may have actually leapt into Covid-19, making it more contagious and therefore dangerous.

Another independent French study (peer reviewed) came to almost the same conclusions and also reported that The furin-like cleavage site in the S-protein of 2019-nCoV may have implications for the viral life cycle and pathogenicity of the Covid virus - and suggested that campaigns to develop anti-2019-nCoV therapeutics should include the evaluation of Furin inhibitors.

Note: Drugs do exist which target the Furin enzyme — drugs previously used in HIV treatments - and that's possibly the reason why the HIV drugs had some effects on the infection.

It's quite evident what most of the people suspected all along. Both China & Iran are pathological liars....at least when it comes to Coronavirus. (there's no difference on other matters too)
Some might get upset, but the truth cannot be changed.
