Impacts of environmental factors on the disease


Is the environment affecting the increase of the virus or not?


JRC Scientists say that increased solar radiation, temperatures and humidity should reduce the spreading of the pandemic, but several studies find that the epidemic intensity might not fully attenuate in summer in the middle latitude of in sub-tropical and tropical climates.


Some research say that air quality affects 7% of deaths with confirmed COVID-19 virus. While air pollution can be linked to higher vulnerability the real impact might actually be small with respect to other impacts. They keep on saying that it could be transmitted by aerosols compared to droplets in specific indoor conditions but relativity with infection is not yet established. Poor ventilation of indoor conditions is reasonable to assume that, difference in ambient produce similar airborne virus particles property either in terms of lifetime or inhalation efficiency.


All I can advice from my little research is that if at all it can be increased through air quality we should by all time have good ventilation in our homes, at work, school and even in our cars because we are not certain of how we gonna get it and the virus being everywhere and us being in contact with it. The social distance would not work unless we help our selves.
