[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting story in the Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/10/10/fluctuations-covid-19-numbers-could-have-lot-do-with-weather/

[i]Perhaps some undulation is inevitable: as caseloads rise, people get cautious, and as they fall, people take more risks, causing caseloads to rise again. But another possibility is that the undulation might not just be about policy, or even personal attitudes, but something as simple, and uncontrollable, as the weather.

Obviously, that echoes Trump’s famous speculation that the virus would “just disappear” over the summer. Just as obviously, it didn’t. But Trump’s theory may not have been wrong so much as insufficiently refined. After all, it was based on a real observation: back in March, colder places were having more outbreaks than warmer ones. In the United States, however, that relationship broke down this summer.

But don’t focus on the temperature; focus on how humans react to it. Because one thing we have learned in seven months is that most spread seems to take place over long exposures in enclosed spaces. So the right question may not be “how cold is it?” but “is this the kind of weather that drives gatherings indoors?”[/i]

I’ve been saying this all along- summer is not really a time to be outside in the south- they’re inside with the AC blasting. The northerners were outside.  Now it will slowly be flip flopping .[/quote]
