#1 Damp weather actually inhibits the transmission of flu.

Interestingly, right now, the two most problematic strains are the extremely lethal Indonesian strain, that is threatening to go H2H; and the bizarre southern India/Bangladesh strain, that for some reason seems to kill everything *but* people.
