Are the cis okay?
I will be in the Singles Room. And occasionally go bop Trix and Solo in the nose.

You can have your pick, though. I mean, such as they are.

The term was/is "Mediocre Men", thank you very much.

Wait. Is this a euphemism? I don't even know anymore.

Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak
to be fair, warmer weather can reduce the amount of time the virus can survive on surfaces like doorknobs, etc and lower temperatures increase their survival time in aerosol
warmer weather can absolutely slow the spread

But those are seasonal variations, right? This is going to be with us for a long time. Presumably winter will come again, although I'm sure the American Petroleum Institute is right now developing "science" about how global warming will stop the scourge of nCoV.

Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak
well SARS is still with us but we're not panicking about it anymore. If we see a resurgence of Coronavirus I doubt it will be as severe as the current (there will be potential vaccinations, hopefully they'll have identified some antiviral meds that are effective, etc)

some have very high mutation rates. An RNA virus (like polio) have super high mutation rates: https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3000003

Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak
So assuming a moving target can we have confidence it won't mutate to a more dangerous configuration? (Or are the odds against that, in the way that random chance tends not to produce meaningful strings)?

Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak
i'm not going to try to answer this because I'd be pulling things out of my ***. I do know the flu has a really high mutation rate, which I would guess is why we don't have a universal vaccination by now. It doesn't seem to make it more deadly, but it makes it difficult to develop immunity. I would guess there is always a chance for a mutation that would make a virus more deadly.

All I know about this is that the vast, vast majority of mutations are either meaningless or non-viable. It takes a lucky roll to tweak a characteristic in a way that is both significant and not suicidal. The islands of viability in the sea of genetic possibilities are tiny.

But, correct me if I'm wrong, the vast majority of the decrease in outbreaks in warmer weather is because people are less holed-up inside, not because the sun is baking the virus away.
