Richard Hobday – Coronavirus and the Sun: a Lesson from the 1918 Influenza Pandemic

Summary:
Get on that bike! Well, I spend three hours a day on my bike anyway.Fortunately, I like sleeping with all my windows open at night too as I'm unable to sleep otherwise, even in winter, especially as they are so mild nowadays. Put simply, medics found that severely ill flu patients nursed outdoors recovered better than those treated indoors. A combination of fresh air and sunlight seems to have prevented deaths among patients; and infections among medical staff.[1] There is scientific support for this. Research shows that outdoor air is a natural disinfectant. Fresh air can kill the flu virus and other harmful germs. Equally, sunlight is germicidal and there is now evidence it can kill the flu virus. Richard Hobday - Coronavirus and the Sun: a Lesson from the 1918 Influenza Pandemic
