Is there any data that shows how the weather will impact this thing?

As we all know, flu season basically ends when warm weather begins.
Can we count on that with this virus? If that’s the case then we should be counting on back to normal in the very near future, correct?

A lot of data will be collected this summer.

I heard on tv (FOX likley .. for sure not CNN) a doctor say that the humidity will affect it more than temp but wtf do I know.

I worry about the warm weather not lasting long enough in some parts of the country.

It's summer in Brazil.

Seasonality of SARS-CoV-2 from Harvard School of Public Health

The short answer is that while we may expect modest declines in the contagiousness of SARS-CoV-2 in warmer, wetter weather and perhaps with the closing of schools in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, it is not reasonable to expect these declines alone to slow transmission enough to make a big dent.

They are hoping that heat will kill the virus but everyone admits it will be back in the Fall regardless

Not that I know of,
but those U of Texas folks got it on their spring break to Mexico. If the Cabo has a bunch of cases of it then I assume heat and humidity don't do anything to it.
Of course we have no idea if the college kids had it before they left and spread it among themselves or did they pick it up in Cabo.
I also see Australia is having similar lock downs to the USA and its the end of their summer. If its spreading across Australia I also assume heat doesn't affect it.

You'd expect different rates of infection in different climates, if that were the case.
Unfortunately, it seems relatively flat from tropical to subarctic, though more data is needed before stating that with high confidence-- but to date, everything suggests that to be the case.

according to the last internet covid-19 expert that walked in my office this morning, this shite show is not a virus but a planned toxic chemical emission from a secret bio lab in China, the plume of neurotoxic “gases” were released at just the right time to be dispersed by the drastically changed jet stream, which mixed with US factory, chemical and petroleum plants around every major city, the result is a toxic gas that will destroy mankind...

It’s from the SARS family, SARS died out in heat, buys its cousin MERS lives in 110 degree deserts comfortably

I've heard that too but last week was very humid in Miami and it's growing rapidly there. Heat and humidity may helps some but the locations with hot, humid weather show that this alone is not going to stop it, and may not slow it much.

Well is it more of a sibling to sars? Or also another cousin to both sars and mers. So confusing. I’m losing it.

I’ve seen anecdotal data that states the virus does not like:
Sunshine
Warm temps - I think above 86
Humidity
That said, I also saw a report that stated we may not get as accurate weather forecasts, especially severe weather, due to less planes being in the air.
One of the data sets forecasters use for their models comes from information captured by planes as they fly across the country, so some forecasters are fearful this could impact future forecasts.

There are tons of cases in the Southern Hemisphere and in the tropics, and there have been for some time. That should answer your question.

Like the flu, COVID is encased in a viral envelope that makes it susceptible to heat. I assume things will get better once summer temperatures arrive.

In that case we need to tell Brazil, Australia, and South Africa that the virus dies in summer, so they should stop posting fake numbers that mirror the spreading in Europe and the US
