This isn't entirely correct. COVID does die when exposed to high intensity UV, much higher than typical sunlight, which is why it is used to sterilize things. Multiple factors affect COVID longevity outdoors including sunlight intensity, humidity, and length of exposure. The 70 degree number is correct, but that value is for degrees Celsius, not Fahrenheit. Pretty big distinction. That being said, fishing and camping are about as low-risk as you can get.
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Issac Asimov
