Debunking Myths: Can heat kill the coronavirus?

@mikedesi2020 While it is true most virus's like this and the Flu are winter type viruses. But there is no evidence that I can find that says Heat will kill this virus yet. I did hear the President mention it and I think we all hope this problem will disappear soon, the advise of the CDC and most experts is to wash hands frequently and the other precautions mentioned. There was a interview that hinted at killing the virus at 136 degrees F, and using a hair dryer to accomplish this but this has been debunked by most experts. Also even if 136 degrees does work that once the virus is in your lungs it will never get that high without killing you also. So I live in Arizona and I'm doing all the recommendations the CDC has stated and Praying for cure to this problem soon.
Have a Blessed Day

Dana, I agree wholeheartedly with what you and sue posted. I live in a hot, arid area of TX and while we can all be hopeful that summer heat will slow down the spread, if more people start mingling because of the added sunlight and heat which is already happening now in NYC, the virus spread will continue. The one thing each of us can do is ff the rec's to shelter in place as much as humanly possible.
