- A new report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine concluded that studies don’t indicate warmer weather will disrupt the spread of novel coronavirus.
- Human behavior remains the most important factor; an infected person coughing or sneezing nearby won’t be impacted by weather.
- While small studies show that high temperature and humidity can diminish coronavirus survivability, limitations make them inconclusive.
- Unlike seasonal outbreaks, virus pandemics historically have a 2nd wave peak six months after emerging (regardless of the season).
