This is not a cure. This is preventative help that is only useful when you first notice the virus while most of it is still in the sinuses. It is to slow it down and make it less severe if possible. Once it enters the lungs, there is no way to heat your entire body to 130F (56C) to kill the virus inside body without harming the person.

I am starting a research study to track the coronavirus spread in desert areas with dry, hot air. The virus is NOT stopped in hot, humid areas at all. I believe the dry natural air may help and my study is now underway to check the statistics.

Please review the scientific papers before dismissing the idea. Temperature of 130 F (56 C) is one way to kill the virus. The study on temperature for killing SARS coronavirus is a good proof for SARS-COVID 19. This is not conspiracy nonsense. I spend all day fighting misinformation.

Please follow these precautions written by the video producer
Dan Lee Dimke, PhD, CEO, Future-world.com

CAUTION: The experimental procedure presented in this video is NOT a cure for coronavirus! It has not yet been tested or endorsed by any health authority. It should be ONLY be considered as one more layer of potential prevention IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER PRECAUTIONS recommended by the CDC, WHO, or other health authorities – including hand washing, social distancing, coughing and sneezing into a sleeve, avoiding contact with others who display symptoms, getting tested for COVID-19 if fever and other respiratory symptoms develop, and seeking immediate medical advice if tested positive for COVID-19, or if symptoms persist or worsen. NOTE: Once the virus has migrated to the lungs, which may occur in up to 20% of patients within one to two weeks, the virus is too far from the external heat source to be substantially impacted by this procedure. Benefits are likely to be highest when used for prevention and early treatment. THIS VIDEO CONTAINS NO MEDICAL ADVICE AND SHOULD BE REGARDED AS EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION ONLY.

The temperature of 130 F (56C) is the key to unlocking more about this idea. Dry saunas could be very helpful.

At the moment we do not know. As long as you do not accidentally burn yourself, breathing in warm air cannot hurt. It is certainly less dangerous that taking the anti-malarial drug chloroquine that Pres. Trump is bragging about, which is killing people.

Could the summer bring an end to COVID-19?
By Yasemin Saplakoglu - Staff Writer 8 hours ago 3-24-2020

Warmer temperatures and higher humidity could help to slow spread of the virus.

Could summer mean a slower spread of COVID-19?

Like some other respiratory viruses such as the flu, is there a chance that the new coronavirus will spread less as temperatures increase?

A new study has found that the new coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2, didn't spread as efficiently in warmer and more humid regions of the world as it did in colder areas. Though the early analysis, published in the journal Social Science Research Network, is still under review, it provides a glimpse into what we might expect in the warmer months to come.

Qasim Bukhari and Yusuf Jameel, both from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, analyzed global cases of the disease caused by the virus, COVID-19, and found that 90% of the infections occurred in areas that are between 37.4 and 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit (3 to 17 degrees Celsius) and with an absolute humidity of 4 to 9 grams per cubic meter (g/m3). (Absolute humidity is defined by how much moisture is in the air, regardless of temperature.)

In countries with an average temperature greater than 64.4 F (18 C) and an absolute humidity greater than 9 g/m3, the number of COVID-19 cases is less than 6% of the global cases.

This suggests "that the transmission of 2019-nCoV virus might have been less efficient in warmer humid climate so far," the authors wrote. Humidity especially might play a role, given that most of the transmission of COVID-19 has happened in relatively less humid areas, they wrote.

CLOSE
But that doesn't mean that when summer rolls around, social distancing will be obsolete and people will once again pack into bars and concerts like sardines.

For most of North America and Europe, the effect of humidity on the spread of the coronavirus would be negligible until June, when levels start to increase beyond 9 g/m3, the authors wrote. Still, with over 10,000 cases of COVID-19 being reported in regions with average temperatures of 18 degrees C (64.4 degrees F) after March 15, the role of warmer temperatures in slowing the spread might be observed only at much higher temperatures.

"Therefore its implication will be limited at least for northern European countries and northern U.S., which do not experience such warm temperatures until July, and that too for a very short time window," the authors wrote. So the chances of reducing the spread of COVID-19 due to these environmental factors would be limited across these areas, they added.

"It's unreasonable, I think, at this point to expect that the virus will quote-on-quote disappear during our summer months," said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, who was not part of the study. Still, "I think it might give us a little bit of hope," Schaffner said.

The spread of some respiratory viruses, such as the flu viruses, diminishes in high humidity and high temperatures. It's not exactly clear why temperature and humidity affect the flu virus or other seasonal viruses, but it's in part because when you exhale, some virus at the back of your throat gets pushed out into the air, Schaffner told Live Science. "If we were to get a microscope and look at that virus, we would discover that it's surrounded by a microscopic sphere of moisture" called a droplet, he added.

When you have low humidity in the wintertime, that sphere of moisture tends to evaporate, which "means that the virus can hover in the air for a longer period of time because gravity won't pull it to the ground," Schaffner said. But in the summer, when you exhale a viral particle, the surrounding droplet doesn't evaporate, which means it will be heavier and gravity will pull it out of the air much more readily. In other words, "it doesn't hover as long as it does in the winter," making it less likely to infect the person close by, he said.

Transmission of the flu goes down to very low levels during the summer, so we don't typically have to worry about it very much in warmer months, he added. But other viruses, such as the coronavirus strains that cause the common cold, "have a seasonal distribution that is not as dramatic as influenza," Schaffner told Live Science.

Still, "we can't count on" the warmer and humid months to slow the spread of the virus, Schaffner said. "We have to beware of wanting to walk only on the sunny side of the street — there's another side that's shadier."****

debunking myths from WedMD says NOT Sure for the temperature affects on coronavirus
Experts Sort Fact From Fiction on COVID-19 Myths

'Like colds and flu, COVID-19 will fade with warmer weather.'

False -- maybe. There is no conclusive proof that the coronavirus will die off once the weather turns warm. The reverse is also true. There is no conclusive proof that warm weather and warmer air will not diminish coronavirus. A good scientist will wait and see.

"Because this is a new virus, we aren't sure," said Catherine Troisi in the release. She's an epidemiologist and associate professor in the Department of Management, Policy, and Community Health at UT Health's School of Public Health.

One recent study, led by virologist Dr. Mohammad Sajadi of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, has suggested that coronavirus might prefer cooler, more humid climes.

"Based on what we have documented so far, it appears that the virus has a harder time spreading between people in warmer, tropical climates," Sajadi said.

But even if that's so, the fact that humans have no immune experience against the virus means it will probably continue to spread during the Northern Hemisphere's summer, other experts countered.

"We hope that warmer weather will help, but there is no guarantee," Troisi said. "What ultimately helps is that summertime means kids are not in school anymore, and they are less likely to pass viruses around."

I would like to keep the topics on this github focused on engineering and medical guidance around the requirements of ventilators and PPE. Thanks.
