We might very well see a reduction in spread in the beginning of the summer, but we have to be careful not to put that down to a changing climate — it is plausible that such a reduction could be due to other measures put in place. Human behavior will be most important. If a human coughs or sneezes enough virus close enough to the next susceptible person, then temperature and humidity just won’t matter that much. Given that countries currently in ‘summer’ climates, such as Australia and Iran, are experiencing rapid virus spread, a decrease in cases with increases in humidity and temperature elsewhere should not be assumed.”</i></font><div><font size="4"><i><br></i></font></div><div><font size="4">John K Clark<i><br></i></font><div><br></div></div></div>
