The research is now conclusive. The novel coronavirus struggles with heat and humidity.

Good news (temporal respite) for the northern hemisphere (Europe/North America) and most of sub-Saharan Africa.

Very bad news for the southern hemisphere.

The lockdown in most parts of Africa is a joke.

I have seen enough videos and pictures to conclude that the reason half of Lagos/Accra/Nairobi is not dead is because of the lower transmissibility in high temp rather than our feeble attempts at a lockdown.

Weather is destiny!
I have stepped out of my house ONLY 3 times in the last month because of the crazy transmission rates in this cold weather.

Most people are still moving around in Africa and the infection rate is just a small fraction of the one here despite our (US) strict lockdown procedures.
I wouldn't want to be in South Africa though. They will be in really bad shape once their winter starts in July.

Weather is destiny.
