Serious question, where has it disappeared due to warm weather?

as far as I understand (and interpret the stats as a non-medic, non specialist), I wouldn't say it's disappeared, but there seems a pattern as in that in warmer countries it doesn't spread as quickly.

I may misinterpret this https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.htm...qEKEcs1kbL9ns78lYms7KaCPssEBvjwTg_3NGO9oFBZBU but to me it does look like it's mainly spreading quickly in places where it's still cold right now (europe, usa) while in australia and africa it seems to spread less. maybe I'm wrong though and we are just ahead of them - I hope not, especially for africa.

Think that is anything to do with Vitamin D as well? Been a reason I've been taking it anyway as a precaution.

From the tropics: it's here and probably under diagnosed. My suspicion is that it got here over a month ago and most people already got it, on my island at least. A lot of people I know were sick starting 3-4 weeks back. We get up to 15k new passengers off the ships from all over the world on a busy day last month. We only have 50k people on my island. We have only one movie theater, only four big supermarket, etc....

I was thinking this. But really, the 'warmer countries' (I dont mean to offend anybody here), such as southeast asia/south america/africa etc have low cases... but is this not due to their lack of resources or healthcare?

Yes Australia has low cases but maybe they havent been testing or declared results yet.
 
Cant find much positive on warm weather beyond 'likely to slow'?

From what I understand it's not so much temperature, although that does have some effect. But more from higher uv levels which nukes the viruses genetic structures. (And why we tan, to protect us from damage)

That's part of. Nobody gets tested.

Also it has been seen elsewhere that the virus will disappear once warmer weather returns, so if we can start to get into April/May things will improve

I really hope it does... Because if not I really don't see how it will resolve soon

I read somewhere that some predicted in 2020 this will happen and the virus will leave as quickly as it came... I hope that's true
 
We (California) are officially on lock down. I think we can still go to the grocery store if we need to; though I'm staying home. I did delivery for the bulk of my shopping, but there are some things I forgot/should have ordered. Like the drink stuff I add to my water; I drink a ton of it every day. Life just isn't the same... :)
 
Re warmer weather. It’s my understanding the spread is mainly due to people in close contact indoors. When it’s warmer, people have less indoor contact. That’s the main reason why flu spreads most in colder months. There is some evidence that that viruses don’t do as well when warmer and drier but I think it’s mainly closer human contact being a bigger reason.

So a packed Ibiza club is surely not ideal anytime soon ?.
