COVID-19: Effects of weather conditions on the propagation of respiratory droplets	2020-05-25		.txt	text/plain	7832	475	55	This study investigates the influence of weather conditions including temperature, humidity and wind velocity, on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2-containing respiratory droplets. We suggest that the current pandemic may not ebb over the summer without continuous and proper public health intervention, because (1) in hot and dry weather, respiratory droplets more easily evaporate into aerosol particles capable of long-range transmission; (2) infectious PM2.5 that can infiltrate deeply into our lung has a longer suspension time in hot and dry weather; (3) many public spaces implement air-conditioning systems that can still operate at temperature and humidity setpoints that favor droplet transport. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.24.20111963 doi: medRxiv preprint Key parameters considered in the model include the distribution of initial droplet size d0, initial velocity v0, environmental temperature T ∞ , relative humidity RH, air velocity Vair, whose values are given here.	./cache/cord-298461-tyhtdawb.txt	./txt/cord-298461-tyhtdawb.txt
