Huh! Talk about misinformation!
It seems to coped and thrived very nicely in the heatwaves we've been having this summer!
But, But, But, Mups, haven't you noticed that since summer arrived the deaths and infections have reduced considerably. Although I believe there were lots more infections than earlier figures suggested, because just a few thousand daily tests were hardly representative of a population of over 68 million. It's only now that we are beginning to realise just how widespread the virus has been....Every virus that has ever blighted the human race has decreased in the summer....And most of them do not return once a certain amount of people become immune.

True, Foxy.

But not sure about them not returning - Flu does every year.

Different strains Mups, hence a different vaccine every year.
Have you noticed that they only come here in the winter...
