VIRUS INFECTION AT LOWERED BODY TEMPERATURES
Viruses Survival at Temperatures Outside of Their “Temperature Comfort Zones”
From the essay
This AI-supported study was triggered by the observations from the recent COVID-19 pandemic indicating that workers at meat-packing facilities operating at overcooled facilities had a disproportionally higher infection rates as compared to facilities kept at typical office-factory temperatures. OBSERVATION According to existing research, the survival of viruses outside their optimal temperature ranges, or "comfort zones," varies significantly depending on the type of virus, the surrounding environment, and the temperature extremes involved.
