Summer sunlight can kill coronavirus in just 30 MINUTES, virologists find. US researchers found powerful UV light could destroy 90% of virus on surfaces. Separate studies claimed sun can kill virus lingering in the air in just six minutes. So, is it strong Fijian Sun, or 'Sun-God Khaiyum' who has kept COVID19 out of Fiji? What about the Caribbean Islands?
In May, Fijileaks had challenged a Canadian research team's findings that temperature and latitude did not appear to be associated with the spread of Covid 19. We had asked one of the Team leaders to explain why there had been few recorded cases in small Pacific Island nations and also in the Caribbean Islands that have recorded very low Covid deaths.
"Can you explain why there are no deaths in Fiji Islands, and other small Pacific island nations?
Is it because the SUN is constantly in the atmosphere with bouts of rain???????". Our questions were sent before the recent deaths were reported in Fiji. The team leader replied and questioned us as follows:
"We didn’t look at solar radiation, but temperature, and we didn’t look at deaths but epidemic growth. Fiji was not included in our analysis as they hadn’t reported 10 or more cases and local transmission by the cutoff date used. So, they were either lucky, had good travel restrictions or public health measures in place or underreported cases."
Three questions to you:
1. What’s the attack rate on Fiji, and do they quarantine incoming travellers?
2. What public health measures are implemented and when were they?
3. How do they test and how do they attribute causes of death?
QUESTION MARK: The New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden had informed Parliament that Fiji's testing level in proportion to the population in Fiji were too low, therefore their zero case status would be treated with a degree of scepticism.
CARELESS: In a dictatorship, citizens are naturally wary of CareFiji App
