Bpb, Not wishful at all - if you look at this scenario from the perspective of a biochemist - this is apparently a typical RNA catalyzed biochemical system.(I am told)
Proteins and enzymes are tailored (by evolutionary pressure) to be extremely thermoactive and catalytic in various selected environments and parameters. A fractional degree of average temperature change can be critical to success or failure. Knowing that - it is easy to imagine corvid has a strong reliance on "average ambient temperature" maybe less than one degree c, as it is correlated to the ability to rapidly proliferate... After all, the "common cold" is the poster-boy for this phenomenon. Why do people keep overlooking that connection? And there is NO CURE, NO VACCINE, after all these years and never will be since the virus mutates too fast. That should tell you something about the big picture here. It's all a statistical game in the end. [email protected] wrote: > To assume the mode of contamination is diminished by warm weather is wishful > thinking IMHO.
