actually, I got the information from some of the top medical journals. Don't have the links anymore, but, you can google it.
I looked..didnt find anything conclusive..the jury is out on all things relating to colds, flu's they have found little evidence as far as I can see.
One thing that could be on target though is that the flu seems to last longer in winter season and you are right , that is linked to very low absolute humidity levels...but its not the cold! So..i give you some props on this ...
well, logically speaking, unless you are in the desert, when the temps are higher, the humidity is also higher. Low temps produce lower humidity. Hence, the connection.

Yep..see the point on that. Only flaw is why then are there not more colds and flus in the desert?
Saturday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 53.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 72.
Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 55
I forgot what nice weather feels like!! Enjoy the outdoors this weekend!
Another painful summer is drawing to a close...after 3 more 90 degree days this week...
Back to "normal" weather next week. Not sure if any records were broken but alot of places didnt get out of the upper 50's yrsterday. Has to be close to the record lowest highs. Typical of late November weather ...

and, how are we certain that there aren't??
However, my conclusion would be that the very high temperatures that are usually present in the desert would kill any of those kinds of germs. Again, being logical, when one sterilizes things, (or even wash dishes in a restaurant) it is at very high temperatures. It is not uncommon to hear of temps in excess of 100 degrees in the desert. SO, the temperatures would outweigh the lack of humidity.

Shrug...maybe.
When talking of killing organisms or sterilizing something you need hotter temperatures than what you find in a desert...
Humid today...very muggy. Was in Chicago this week, what a great town. Air was crisp ...cool. Back to the heat...sigh
did you get some pizza? or, at least a hot dog?
