    Three weeks ago I saw far more folks wearing masks in the grocery store, at least half. Today - maybe 10 - 15 %.
    I think the public is now realizing lockdown and masks was an overreaction. NYC is a different story. That area including cross river New Jersey is the most densely populated area on earth along with all the international trade that goes on there.

    The Topic of Capricorn runs through Sao Paolo, it's sub tropical. The dopey bastard needs to look at a fucking map!!

    I think you'll find that Bangkok and Saigon would give New York a run for its money, population density wise!

    That's nice. Let's look at those 3 things since you clearly haven't.

    Look matey, if you're so scared then stay the fuck inside and stop bothering those who want to get back to normal. I suggest that you inject yourself with bleach and arsenic they are sure to kill the virus!
    Are you all butthurt because you are getting spanked so you feel you have to lash out?

    Just looked at the weather forecast for Sao Paolo and there is a yellow alert for frost with a 3c minimum, does that sound tropical to you? If they had a frost here the locals would think it was the end of the world. You only get frosts in the mountains over 1000 metres in northern Thailand!
    Funny thing. I just checked the Sao Paulo weather for the previous 14 days and the lowest temperature is 10c. Some days the low is 18c. Checking the forecast for the next 14 and and the lowest temperature is 9c with some days showing a low of 14c. For the middle of winter that looks pretty tropical even compared to Florida.

    That completely ignores the fact that Rio has never seen a frost in it's recorded history since the all time low ever recorded there is 10c.

    Oh and I am done arguing with pedantic wankers, kindly fuck off there's a good chap!
    Presenting facts that show your opinion to be baseless doesn't make me pedantic. It makes you foolish. It seems you understand you are being a gobshite so want to pretend my pointing out your silly errors makes me the idiot.

    Sao Paulo has only had humidity below 40% one 6 hour period in the last 7 days and the majority of the time over 55%. Rio has averaged humidity above 70% for the last 14 days, never getting below 60%.

    You really should check the UV index for Sao Paulo and Rio to compare them to northern US.

    Comparing NYC to Sao Paulo during the last 7 days shows that Sao Paulo is slightly warmer during that time period and humidity is comparable.

    It's a waste of time talking to bullshitters like you. You first claimed Brazil was on the Equator and therefore it is in permanent Summer. When I pointed out that Sao Paolo is on the Tropic of Capricorn and has a low of 3c and a yellow warning for frost tonight, you proceeded to double down on your bullshit. Frankly I give up you're just incorrigible and a fool.

    No. I claimed the equator goes through Brazil. (Which it clearly does.) Stop and think about that for a moment. When does summer happen north of the equator? When does it happen south of the equator?


    Funny thing is - There is no 3c in the Sao Paulo, Brazil forecast - I've had probably checked a dozen different sites.

    Weather in São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil
    [Mostly sunny.] [Mostly clear.] [Clear.] [Sunny.] [Sunny.] [Clear.] [Clear.]
    Temperature 20 °C 13 °C 11 °C 13 °C 21 °C 14 °C 10 °C

    https://www.myweather2.com/City-Town...-Forecast.aspx

    Care to post a link to your supposed 3c forecast? Because there is nothing to be found on my search engine that supports your claim.


    And then you have decided to completely ignore Rio where the Covid 19 is raging.
    The lowest recorded temperature in Rio De Janeiro is 50.4°F (10.2°C), which was recorded in October.

    Don't give a fuck cunt, this is from the Brazilian National Office of Meteorology. It's rapidly approaching winter and the temperatures will go lower and lower for next two months.

    Just checked the website for the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia. They aren't predicting 3c for Sao Paulo.

    And by the way..

    Media de las temperaturas mínimas diarias esta Jul - 11.7c
