I’m wondering the same thing as Dumby. Warmer climates shouldn’t see any flu at all, if this theory is correct. And the Inuit, with a long winter season, should’ve been wiped out by the flu ages ago.

It probably has more to do with the immunity and/or general health levels of certain populations. I’m sure we all know of someone who always gets the flu, as well as someone who never gets it. Scientists should be studying that… not butter-like coatings that may or may not have anything to do with whether a person actually develops the flu once they’re exposed to the virus.

The truth is, while doctors know many things - and I would always go to a doctor before a holistic healer - there are still many things that they’re just grasping straws over. Every ten years or so, they come out with some new contradictory theory about what’s good and what’s bad, and what causes x y and z.

Butter like coating? Hmmm. I am now very informed. And disgusted.

Then please explain then why everyone in Southern Calif has the flue right now…
Average temp is 60-70 during the day, about 50-55 at night.
