      Do we know yet that the virus dies in warmer weather?

      We don't. There are some indicators, but unclear how far the effect goes. So that may not even have been worth it. If there's a second spike because no warm-weather effect, then we will have gained merely the time not to overwhelm the system.

      Here's a good WSJ article on this:https://www.wsj.com/articles/will-warmer-temperatures-bring-a-coronavirus-reprieve-its-complicated-11586792719?mod=hp_lead_pos8 …

      And that's just a selective sample of the global data. The domestic pattern & the general picture in the Southern Hemisphere so far is suggestive that temperature matters.

      Welllll that depends on whether or not testing levels are high enough to get a good picture.

      The signs of an Italy-level outbreak do not require an extensive testing regime.

      "In coastal Ecuador, patients are dying at home after being turned away from overwhelmed hospitals, and the country’s president has said official statistics undercount the actual caseload." - From the WSJ article. If temperature significantly impacted C19, Ecuador would be ok.

      Ecuador is the counter-example. Again, I don't think heat is a magic bullet, but the general pattern is hard to explain as "every country below the 35th parallel has a great testing regime."

      Do you think it could be related to the frequency of international business flights and the probablity of interacting with the infected? No?

      There's a bunch of variables. Here in NY, for example, we have unusually high population density & extraordinarily high use of mass transit for long, crowded rides.

          It is about lowering frequency, it will never be perfect. There are no therapeutics yet people can take at home are there?

          I’m still unsure about the theories that population density and mass transit creates a hotbed that we won’t see in rural areas. Other illnesses don’t seem to discriminate.

          Uh...what? Now there will surely be delay and rural areas will be effected but transmission and mutation certainly are much higher in dense populations.

          I'm pretty sure this explains the difference between the NYC-LA numbers.
