JOHANNESBURG (AP) — At this very moment a vast world exists that’s free of the coronavirus, where people can mingle without masks and watch the pandemic unfold from thousands of miles away.
When in Rome…do like the penguins and keep 1.5 meters distant.
Can Antarctica Remain Free From COVID-19
No.
But it’s a good article.
Swell article, but, ultimately, there are no bubbles.
No. Next question.
I doubt it but there is this.

Nothing clever to say here,other than WOW !
This almost sounds like a dare. And human beings are very, very good on taking on any challenge that promises to f*ck up Nature.
Well, SHOULD it show up there, it’ll make a great case for whether extremes in temperature have an impact on the virus.
No.
Simply some human will place their stay in Antarctica more important than others health just so they can say they were there.
I’d have changed the headline—no place can remain free from covid if a person with covid goes there—but still interesting. When I was little it was still common to give kids stories to read about explorers and so forth, and the idea of the Antarctic was fascinating. Never became a fearless explorer myself, but I always enjoyed travel and seeing new places, so maybe it left a mark.
The Pence Office of Science Reversal has airlifted 100 Alaskan Palin supporter OSR agents on snowmobiles to rectify the situation.
Don’t think Antarctica is immune, but Israel certainly isn’t. Nice going, Bennie boy.
For the Covid 19 in its present form to survive in Antartica,I guess this would have to take place and if it did it
would be a terrible virus to contain,anywhere.
“mu·ta·tion”
“the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes”
Kinda makes sense to this layman,if wrong Looking forward to being educated on subject.
Maybe, if it doesn’t melt down to bedrock first.

Fall and winter right around the corner.
That was the argument six months ago - about how the warmer weather in the US would kill the virus.
Having spent a week in Australia last year and seeing that my colleagues were being asked to return there in November, I pointed out to those arguing this point that Australia was still in summer weather in February and they were still seeing significant spikes of activity.
And then, of course, summer here in States didn’t kill the virus either…
ETA: oh, and Australia is coming out of winter now and Melbourne is on lockdown.
Remember that Napolitano is the only Fox commentator critical of Trump. This smells like Roger Stone rat-fucking to neutralize him until the election.

Tara Reade, but with trench coats? I’ll not rush to judgement here.
