Now do vit D levels (hint, many have and found the same association...)
Don’t go outside, you might catch a cold...

Novel coronavirus really is seasonal, study suggests
By Rachael Rettner - Senior Writer 4 days ago
Warm temperatures and long hours of sunlight may reduce the spread of COVID-19, the study found.

Warm temperatures and tropical climates may really help reduce the spread of COVID-9, a new study suggests. The study found that places with warm temperatures and long hours of sunlight — such as countries close to the equator and those experiencing summer — had a lower rate of COVID-19 cases, compared with countries farther away from the equator and those experiencing colder weather. The findings held even after the researchers took into account other factors that could affect both the spread of COVID-19 and the number of reported cases, such as a country's level of urbanization and the intensity of COVID-19 testing. Still, the authors stress that their findings don't mean that summer weather will eliminate COVID-19; but it may give people a leg up against the disease. "Our results do not imply that the disease will vanish during summer or will not affect countries close to the equator," the authors wrote in their paper, published April 27 in the journal Scientific Reports. "Rather, the higher temperatures and more intense UV [ultraviolet] radiation in summer are likely to support public health measures to contain SARS-CoV-2," the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19.

Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic began in the winter of 2020, there was speculation that summer temperatures may bring relief from COVID-19. Indeed, many respiratory viruses, including flu viruses, show a seasonal pattern, peaking during the winter and dipping during the summer. Scientists don't know for sure why these viruses follow a seasonal pattern, but a number of factors are thought to play a role. For example, studies suggest that many respiratory viruses are more stable and linger in the air longer in environments with cold temperatures and low humidity, Live Science previously reported. Human behaviors, such as gathering indoors in wintertime, could also boost transmission.

In the new study, the researchers analyzed information from 117 countries, using data on the spread of COVID-19 from the beginning of the pandemic to Jan. 9, 2021. They used statistical methods to examine the relationship between a country's latitude — which affects the amount of sunlight it receives as well as temperature and humidity — and its level of COVID-19 spread. They also used data from the World Health Organization to control for factors that could affect how hard a country is hit by COVID-19, such as air travel, health care expenditure, the ratio of older adults to younger people and economic development.
They found that every 1 degree increase in a country's latitude from the equator was tied to a 4.3% increase in the number of COVID-19 cases per million people. This means that if one country is 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) closer to the equator compared with another, the country closer to the equator could expect to have 33% fewer COVID-19 cases per million people, with all other factors being equal between the countries.

The COVID response has caused me to lose all faith in America. The eagerness with which my fellow countrymen gave up their civil liberties based off the whims of politicians was beyond disappointing.

Modern Americans literally can't wait to comply with what the Government tells them.

Yep. we learned real quick that we aren't special and some glowing bastion of freedom. It's depressing.

I figured they were stretching the truth melodramatically with the bit about him ending up declared insane and dying from an infected wound that could have been prevented had his techniques been in practice - but damned if it didn’t happen exactly like that.

But, “follow the science”. Just don’t follow it in any directions in which we don’t approve.

Back in the mid 90s, I started my prediction of the US balkanizing within 50 years.
Now 25+ years later, it looks like the prediction is still on track.

The overwhelming majority of the population has always been incredibly stupid.
