Covid-19 Heat Resistance

I guess its the Engineer in me. I can't understand why someone would want to know something and then be satisfied with the wrong answer.

"Close" only applies to horseshoes and hand grenades.

EVERYONE has a calculator in their pocket. Every tweeter comes with one standard. Regardless, googling "xF=C" gives the correct answer in seconds, with no need to have to mentally make a calculation.....

So you get upset when the nightly news tells you the temperature for the days was 28.6, demanding they use 3 decimal places? As I said, most people are happy with 'it's about 29'... That's within 2 degrees of the EXACT temperature conversion, and the only people who can actually feel the difference between 29 and 31 are sat divers in a helium/oxygen atmosphere. If you're not happy with that sort of accuracy, use whatever you like... My preference is the Kelvin scale, where absolute zero is '0'.....

Then why didn't you post the correct formula?

I did. You got a newer chemistry book?

Boy, must be a slow day and we're all getting antsy. I thought mods were supposed to quell arguments, not encourage them.

Let's test your C to F formula - F = (C+9/5) + 32 . 100C + 9/5 = 101.8 + 32 = 133.8F.

I must have a poor education. I was taught the the boiling point of water was 100C or 212F.

Time for substitution. F = (C X 9/5) + 32. 100C X 9/5 = 180 + 32 =212F.

One of us didn't finish high school or read the wrong book. Wanna make a guess? I am not an engineer. Which of us is willing to accept a wrong answer? :lol:

We can only "quell arguments" when 1 side admits to a mistake.

I have my 'exasperated' hat on, not my 'mod' hat. Would you like me to put my mod hat on, just for you?

The best thing would be if we all took our hats off and tried to just be friends, all with a common interest.

I like boats, how about you?

This is what you posted
F = (C+9/5) + 32

Probably would have let you slide if you hadn't said "Didn't y'all go to high school?"

You mean mods get hats ? That’s really cool ! Where do I sign up ? arty:

The most brilliant person I ever knew had a grasp of everything, but even he made a tipo once a while.

how about those Yankees?:laugh:

Strangely I can't seem to remember Chris's rule of thumb calcs so I use the numbers 5, 9 & 32 then do the sums in my head.
20C divided by 5 = 4, times 9 = 36, plus 32 = 68F.

Convert lives on my computer and gets used all the time.

Or just switch from Centigrade to Fahrenheit on your thermometer etc. The minus 40 was an inside joke some don't know about.

That's why I brought it up:bounce:to see who would do the conversion and second guess

I have yet to see a virus discussion on any forum that did not turn into a statical argument.

I know this one; 60 degrees Celsius 60C divided by 5 = 12, times 9 = 108 plus 32 =140 F.

who knew Metric conversion could be so riveting...



So - since today is ! may and we have a nicely packaged trimester under our belt - to revisit my math.

Remember the 2019 crude death rate was ~7.6%. We now are looking at lower than that (same if rounded up) but actually lower for Y/E. SO that tells me the actions taken (lockdown, hand washing, distancing, etc)are probably having an effect overall, including this thing.

I'm evolving in my opinion that we should be reopening quickly, but in a managed fashion. Metro Nashville is a densely populated area and yes things transmit more easily. Here in Coffee county where I live we have had a whopping 33 cases. We don't need the strict controls they have.


My math for the day.
