Why don't we know the extent of seasonal transmission? At the very least, we have data from areas that are in opposite seasons, even if we've yet to collect data on the transition from one season to another. Can't we get some insight from comparing the rate of transmission in Australia, where it's summer, to the UK, where it's winter?

The southern countries are all on the initial stages, and I doubt any one has any reliable number for transmission speed, due to both test limits and low numbers overall.
