Coronavirus: Respiratory diseases are exacerbated by low air humidity Respiratory diseases are home-grown
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The symptoms caused by the new corona virus Sars-CoV-2 are called ‘Covid-19’. This is a disease of the respiratory tract, one of the most frequent causes of incapacity to work even before the appearance of this new type of virus. Particularly in winter, there is an increased incidence of respiratory tract infections. Because although studies show that the lifespan of viruses, their spread and the immune system all directly depend on the humidity of the air, many buildings and offices are much too dry, especially in winter.

With the corona virus, handshakes, snuggles and stolen kisses are all out the window. Meticulous and persistent hand washing as well as sneezing or coughing in the crook of your arm are, of course, a must. But we can do much more by strengthening our body’s defence against the virus to the best of our ability. In addition, numerous current research results document how effective this defence against infection depends on optimum humidity.

Cold and dry air are ideal conditions for many viruses. The warmer it gets, the more difficult it is for the corona virus to survive – because it is surrounded by a lipid layer. A fat layer that is not particularly heat-resistant, giving rise to justified hopes that the virus does not tolerate rising summer temperatures well. But we know exactly what viruses that cause respiratory diseases, like corona, are responsible for the immediate knock-out: A humidity of 50 % is deadly for these viruses and for bacteria!
