Taiwan is also fairly warm. I'm optimistic transmission will slow in the summer.
Taiwan only has 45 #COVID19 cases. At first I could not believe this, then I saw the list of measures they have taken to stop the spread. The USA should be shamelessly copying Taiwan's government. Here's a sampler of some of the actions taken.
