Will warmer weather will slow COVID-19? People think it might, because the flu is transmitted much more easily in winter.
But the novel coronavirus COVID-19 isn't the same as the flu, and the susceptible pool of people who can be infected is much larger.
According to Business Insider, that means seasonality won't have as much of an impact until more people develop immunity to it.
In the meantime, physical distancing, PPE, and good hygiene will be much more effective in slowing the spread of the virus.
