Mechanistic theory predicts the effects of temperature and humidity on inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 and other enveloped viruses
Ambient temperature and humidity strongly affect inactivation rates of enveloped viruses, but
a mechanistic, quantitative theory of these effects has been elusive. We measure the stability …
