Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a serious global public health problem. Both laboratory and epidemiological investigations have revealed that ambient temperatures can affect the survival and transmission rate of coronaviruses. T-Consciousness Fields (TCFs), introduced by Mohammad Ali Taheri, are novel fields that are neither matter nor energy. Therefore, they are non-quantifiable and cannot be directly observed or measured. However, it is possible to demonstrate and measure the effects of these fields through standard scientific experiments. This study aimed to investigate the effects of two TCFs (1 and 2) on the survival and infectivity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus at different temperatures. To evaluate the effect of TCFs on virus replication at different temperatures, cytopathic effect (CPE) monitoring, fifty-percent tissue culture infective dose (TCID50), and virus RNA copy number were used. The results demonstrated that the association of the TCFs (1 and 2) with temperature can further reduce the infectivity and survival of SARS-CoV-2. The TCFs eliminated the virus at 56 °C for 30 min, whereas the control group showed virus activity. Also, TCFs significantly reduced the virus titer and RNA copy number at temperatures of 4 °C and 24 °C for 24h compared to the control group. In this study, for the first time, we showed that TCFs, as a qualitative intervention, can affect the survival of SARS-CoV-2 in different temperature conditions. Further studies are highly recommended to examine the effects of TCFs on viruses in different environmental conditions.
