    I am NOT someone who thinks that the virus is going to disappear in the summer, not a bit.

    But it can't be a coincidence that the biggest hotspots in America right now are New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan. All states with higher population densities and colder weather.

    Meanwhile, Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, Arizona, no comparable surge. Louisiana had a short lived surge that was curbed quickly. Phoenix is the 6th largest city in the nation and I haven't heard one word about their coronavirus cases.

    Everyone is waiting on a huge surge in the south, especially Florida, but what if it doesn't happen until the fall or winter? I know that we can't depend on the weather to save us, it won't, but the regional breakdown points to it being a factor.

    The coronavirus surge formula seems to be high population density + aging/vulnerable population + reliance on public transportation + cold weather - social distancing = massive surge.

    Let’s be honest the most likely outcome is we don’t develop and scale a vaccine over the next 5-10 years.

    How are we gonna deal with this s***?

    How? Only 1,600 deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours and 1,800 yesterday according to covidtracking and Worldometers. That's not even close to the previous peak of 2,683.

    EDIT: https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/495826-us-endures-worst-one-day-death-toll-yet-as-states-reopen

    They were talking about Thursday, I guess? I still don't see where those deaths would have come from, we haven't had a day close to 2,900. Maybe they count different hours and mixed a couple days together.

    Here's my source: cnbc.com/2020/05/02/who-us-just-reported-deadliest-day-for-coronavirus.html

    And the WHO report: who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200501-covid-19-sitrep.pdf?sfvrsn=742f4a18_2

    But what about countries like Brazil and Ecuador

    They’re usually warm as f***

    It's one factor, not the only factor

    Looks like it's in the 60s in Ecuador all next week with lots of rain. I don't know what it's been like this past week. High 70s in Sao Paulo.

    I don't think that's a factor, Brazil is having its peak too and it's warm in San Paolo

    So it's just a coincidence that much of the northeast and midwest is getting ravaged and the southeast and southwest aren't experiencing comparable surges?

    We can pick out exceptions all day long, but there already have been studies on the effects of sunlight, humidity and temperature on the virus. It's not NOT a thing, it's just not the only thing.

    medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.19.20071951v1

    And it's not just temperature that matters, it's UV light. A cloudy 80 degree day would have a theoretically smaller effect than a sunny 80 degree day.

    Bad news: a newly identified mutation makes SARS-CoV-2 more transmissible

    Well, if this is true, it is the way viruses typically maneuver through the population: they grow more transmissible and, in turn, tend to grow less deadly with time, in order to ensure proliferation and survival.

    If a virus mutates in such a way that it kills all potential hosts, it too will die. Evolutionary biology suggests that if this virus is truly endemic, it will mutate many times in an effort to transmit itself to as many hosts as possible.

    No, it's true. The heat makes the virus slightly weaker and more difficult to access, but if you live densely together, it doesn't help very much.

    This is also one of the reasons why experts saying that we stay on a level with small waves here and there during the summer and the even larger second wave comes in the autumn for every country.

    1% of 300,000,000 is 3,000,000 in the U.S. alone
