Covid doesn't like sunlight (UV).  We have longer days now.  It could have a modest impact.

But I think mainly the surface contagion was over sold initially, I can understand why that would have happened.

That was probably me, after I heard on the news that this virus does not like heat and/or humidity.

The only problem with the virus does not like heat theory is that South America would be much lower in case count

Influenza obviously is less prevalent in summer, it's not entirely certain why.  Coronaviruses can be, but not always (colds).  Some of this is probably due to changes in lifestyles in winter, and possibly some due to changes in our nasal permeability (due to dryness indoors in winter).

I don't think we should count on any summer break, but if that doesn't occur is perhaps lessens a chance of a fall resurgence.

Wear a mask to protect others if you cannot distance and wash your hands, keep the elderly safe, and we should be OK.

Oh, and mass crowded events should be avoided ....

Southern hemisphere is in Fall season now, heading into Winter.

I haven't looked at their numbers, nor have I followed them.

This is the key. It will be interesting to see if there are any spikes with all of the chaos around the country right now.

I'd be shocked if we don't see a spike in 10-14 days, shocked.  

Just one contagious person in those crowds could spread it to 10-20-30 others, easily, per day.

There has never been evidence in Australia that this is seasonal, and Brazil is catching it now probably owing to travel being slow to take it there.

Throughout January, the World Health Organization publicly praised China for what it called a speedy response to the new coronavirus. It repeatedly thanked the Chinese government for sharing the genetic map of the virus “immediately,” and said its work and commitment to transparency were “very impressive, and beyond words.”

But behind the scenes, it was a much different story, one of significant delays by China and considerable frustration among WHO officials over not getting the information they needed to fight the spread of the deadly virus, The Associated Press has found.

Despite the plaudits, China in fact sat on releasing the genetic map, or genome, of the virus for more than a week after three different government labs had fully decoded the information. Tight controls on information and competition within the Chinese public health system were to blame, according to dozens of interviews and internal documents.


Chinese government labs only released the genome after another lab published it ahead of authorities on a virologist website on Jan. 11. Even then, China stalled for at least two weeks more on providing WHO with detailed data on patients and cases, according to recordings of internal meetings held by the U.N. health agency through January — all at a time when the outbreak arguably might have been dramatically slowed.

  • As of Monday night, 1,811,360 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in the United States (an increase of 21,188 from yesterday) and 105,165 deaths have been attributed to the virus (an increase of 784 from yesterday), according to the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 Dashboard, leading to a mortality rate among confirmed cases of 5.8 percent (the true mortality rate is likely much lower, between 0.4 percent and 1.4 percent, but it’s impossible to determine precisely due to incomplete testing regimens). Of 17,340,682 coronavirus tests conducted in the United States (403,791 conducted since yesterday), 10.5 percent have come back positive.

Brazil's are skyrocketing because they have a dipshit leader who ignores what the 'nerds' say, too.

Florida's % positive is now at 5.5, which I take as good news, since the state began opening a month ago.
You got it from Trump, who made it up.  C'mon, man.
