Investigating the Impact of High Temperatures on the Spread of Viruses: A Case Study of the Coronavirus in India?s Hot Summers
Yerra Praneeth
Abstract: Virus is an obligate intracellular parasite by definition that has killed millions of people across the world. it is impossible to see the virus with our naked eye, but we can feel the pain in our nose, sometimes whole body. I was confused, shocked to see virus prevailing in Indian hot summer conditions, not only prevailing but also infecting millions of people and also making them sick. it was very shocking to me that virus for example corona virus was easily infecting the people, spreading easily across the communities during the hot summers in India. I have been told that virus gets killed easily by subjecting it to high temperatures. But it seemed to be very in effective because virus has got easily transmitted from one host to another even in hot conditions like the temperatures ranging from 38 degrees to even 45 degrees in Celsius. Then I have decided to know does virus gets effected by the temperature, if yes how much temperature and how much time is required? To know that I have done a small experiment by collecting the sample and keeping it to high temperature and got a conclusion how did virus especially corona virus infected millions of people in India during the hot summer.
