iPhone Camera Supplier LG Innotek Shuts Down a Factory Due to Coronavirus Case

That.... makes no sense. Body temperature is 37c, virus seems to deal with it pretty well.

Don't let facts get in the way of the truth.

Seasonal viruses are "seasonal" because of changes in the air - temperature and humidity might possibly be the main factors.

So with warmer air temp, you also get higher humidity sometimes I suppose. So the humid air catches the sneeze particles and lets them fall to the ground, or condensate on objects other than on people.

So - yeah, we know the human body temp - but air temp is still relevant. Your logic sounds good, if maybe a bit snarky, but I totally get that. Think it through and see if "seasonal" flu makes sense and is plausible to you.

If that were true, then how's it spread to every continent, some of which are in Summer right now?

Well, because reasons! (how could anyone really know?). We can guess.

Singapore is actually the one that you can think about - but maybe the answer is that it's high density population and a LOT of air conditioning despite being tropical humid air.

Re: the clean rooms - there are different classes of clean rooms (depending on how many parts per million of particles are acceptable) with different protections and outfits. Not sure what class this would be. But I can see getting sick in any case - the masks are not likely the kind of mask that would stop virus transmissions. I’ve worked in actual semiconductor clean rooms and the masks are certainly not medical quality in the ones I’ve been in.

There's a cleanroom on my job, no masks worn there, probably lowest class.

Nobody is claiming it will “poof just go away?” Nobody said it would go away like “magic?”

really?

Nope, not the sources I’ve read and told you about. I don’t know if I’m missing something from you.

I guess I’m seriously not following your sarcasm or insinuations. If there are people claiming that - who cares? There are people claiming the earth is flat. Unless you’re talking about trump- which - I haven’t heard him say THAT yet - but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. Regardless, I wouldn’t give that much thought anyway.

I just stated that there were reputable sources and scientists speculating that there will hopefully be a slowing of the spread due to the environmental conditions the virus finds itself in.

Try not to use rhetorical questions or vague sarcastic answers.

Time for Apple and other manufacturers to offshore production, only from China this time and maybe back to the US even?

That’s the whole “it will go away when the weather gets warmer” theory being spread by certain people that cannot be mentioned except in a specific section of these forums.

Yes it will mostly go away in the northern hemisphere when summer comes to the northern hemisphere. Just like it has hardly touched the southern hemisphere now, which is currently in summer. That will switch in 3 to 6 months. And then possibly switch back again in the next northern summer. And so on, until it's either run it's course, or we have a vaccine.
