Miami and Los Angeles have more cases than Seattle, and Los Angeles has more deaths.
Yea I wonder if population plays a role

So what they are saying is....
Global Warming will save the human race!!!
Who knew...

Getting the sun on your face for about 20 minutes to 1 hour will make you less likely to be depress! That is why The sun is good for us but too much is bad for you.

Saying that the vitamin D and sunlight argument were essentially unproven conspiracy theories.
The elderly nursing home population -- they don't get out much if at all and then if htey do it's on a covered patio. Literally no sun exposure at the home where I work. YES they have other issues BUT low vitamin D is one.
Also the AA higher percentage? Pigmentation of their skin may not allow the sun that they do get to work for the Vitamin D.
And I heard probably 5-6 weeks ago that humidity is more of a factor in doing whatever to the outer layer of the germs (oil layer) as humidity is "heavy" .. can't remember exactly how it was described but I even told my husband I was ready for humidity because of it!!!

I need to self quarantine on a nude beach.

If you look at the John Hopkins global map of cases, the Southern Hemisphere is noticeably absent of outbreaks. They are coming out of summer and heat. The malaria drug may be a factor in Africa too.

There's a freakin reason California,Texas and Florida combined have less deaths than Michigan.
BTW,still waiting on all the college spring breakers in Florida to infect/kill all those people.
P.S. It isn't happening and never was gonna happen.

Long story short, turn your AC up and open the blinds to let the sunlight in to destroy the Coronavirus.

There are three reasons viruses are not as infectious in hot humid summer weather:
1. UV. UV denatures virus proteins.
2. Air density. Hot air is less dense than cold air so viruses fall faster getting below your nose so you don’t inhale it.
3. Humidity. Water droplets in the air keep the virus form traveling further distances reducing the risk of transmission.

The goal is the get the reproduction rate to as low as possible, most importantly below 1. So like the seasonality of the flu, the summer heat and humidity impact is beneficial to that goal.
The problem is that the reproduction rate of the flu is 1.28, so it doesn’t take a huge impact for it to get below 1 (e.g., 40% decrease brings the reproduction rate to 0.77); however, since COVID-19’s reproduction rate is estimated to be between 2-3, and roughly twice that is the flu, the seasonality impact alone would need to be far greater just to get it to 1.
So my guess is that along with some reasonable and easy behavioral changes (keeping the distance), especially while indoors (masks in crowded areas).
In addition, this is another reason why I think schools will and should remain closed until fall because that will minimize its capacity to spread the illness in a setting where illnesses spread easily (which is brought back to the home and other settings).
