I read this website, have not posted in a long time. I am an ER doctor and when I saw this post I wanted to respond.

The original post is pseudoscience that is not validated in the medical literature and should be ignored. It is not attributed to a credible source and to date there is no research to support the numerous internet claims about how temperature affects the virus.

The post also demonstrates a very poor understanding of fever, further demonstrating that this is not from a medical source. It mentions a respiratory therapist, but no name or institution is cited. Furthermore, a respiratory therapist (God bless them, I love my RT team members) is not qualified to speak to the properties and management of the virus.

Most importantly, please avoid these unsubstantiated posts that are making the rounds. This is a very new situation for ALL of us and it is hard to parse the fire hose of new info, but the best bet for your health is to skip over anything that does not directly cite a doctor and a peer reviewed publication.

Otherwise you are at risk of following bad advice that may be harmful, or worse, steal your attention from doing what is known to work--good hand hygiene, keep distance from others.


Yes, you are correct. It is undocumented, not cited and not attributed. The advice is essentially what everyone does when they have a cold or flu anyway.

This publication Fever: suppress or let it ride? is the discussed source.
