Kung Flu is much like Regular Flu: it goes away in Summer

Bring back leaded gas, and the 400+cubic inch V-8!!!

That's what I've been predicting. Summer colds aren't very common.

Trouble is summer/warm weather is still a couple of months away.

When someone says "Kung Flu" why do I hear Paul Lynde saying it as Uncle Authur from bewitched?

I think the implication was that we should attempt an acceleration of global warming

Singapore is tropical, and warm in the "winter". They have a MULTITUDE of cases. Warm weather will not stop it. MAYBE warm and dry, like AZ/NM/TX/NV/So.CA. but don't count on it. this thing is NOT influenza.

China to Singapore is a relatively short flight in international terms with heavy loads. Its all about proximity and ease of travel.

Singapore has 19 cases....all from Chinese travelers. Please stop the panic posts.

Warmth / humidity isn't the be-all, end-all solution. It's also exposure to the infected, and Singapore / China travel is like LA/OC travel -- there's tons and tons of it.

Same with Oz -- the most infected area is NSW -- lots of Chinese, lots of Chinese travelers, and lots of travelers, period (to / from all nations).

So yes, warmth / humidity will limit the spread, but good weather isn't a license to believe you're immune

Exactly.

These flus should all be named after some creature eaten at a "wet" Chinese market. Next up: The Dog Flu
