| 0:00.0 | So there is a reason why viruses which attack our respiratory tract disappear in summer. |
| 0:13.0 | Welcome to the Fat Emperor podcast. I'm your host, Ivor Cummins. |
| 0:18.0 | Hey guys, it's 24th of September and I have Gordon Louts back on the podcast. And today |
| 0:23.9 | we're going to talk a little around the actual viral issue going on at the moment because Gordon's |
| 0:28.4 | published a paper or two relevant to that. And we're going to go through humidity and other factors, |
| 0:34.8 | environmental factors that could be of importance and seasonality. |
| 0:38.3 | So it's going to be really interesting. So Gordon, hey, great to see you again so soon. |
| 0:43.8 | Hi, thank you for inviting me again. It's fun chatting with you. |
| 0:47.1 | Well, ditto. And of course, it's really important to have open discussion of science. As you said earlier, a lot of fraught feelings around this thing and a lot of tension and there's a lot of misinformation too. So open discussion is always great. |
| 1:01.0 | Yes, I agree. I think it's very important to share the facts, discuss the facts because, you know, interpretations can differ, but the facts are the facts. So let's see what are the facts and you know interpretations can differ but the facts are the facts. |

| 1:17.6 | Excellent. And I think you're going to go straight to sharing there or actually you're sharing already. |
| 1:24.6 | Yeah, I'm sharing the screen because this is something we started doing when the pandemic started, |
| 1:31.9 | and we wanted to learn how important is the environment, because I think this is still unsettled, |
| 1:38.5 | and actually I think the majority of the world got it wrongly, but let's go through that step by step. |
| 1:46.8 | So it's based on two papers which are out in a public domain. |
| 1:52.5 | One is published in a Journal of Global Health, which was kind of a viewpoint without facts. |
| 1:57.5 | We wrote it in April and May when we just had an idea and then we have paper |
| 2:03.3 | which is still just a preprint. It's under review and this is the evidence we collected later. |
| 2:10.1 | But let's start with some of the facts with which some people may or may not agree. |
| 2:16.0 | So I think that COVID actually did kill many people. |
| 2:21.3 | I can agree with you that many of them would probably die because of influenza of other reasons. |
