One of worst Brazilian states is one of the hottest (Ceará).

  You affirmation does not umake the reality of thermal sensitivity in this virus [1]. There are other factors involved in producing a higher mortality, like comorbidity and demographics. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25855727 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25855727

    Temperature might or might not help [1] and even if it does it may not be enough. Daily confirmed cases are still rising but effects of the quarantine should be visible soon since i think we are reaching the 3 weeks mark.

    COVID-19 isn't caused by this virus (Influenza A), it's caused by SARS-CoV-2.

    Your link is irrelevant to SARS-CoV-2. Did you mean to post a different one? The paper you link to discusses attenuation of influenza A at 39.5 ºC, which is pretty far above useful environmental temperatures (you'd just trade off viral deaths with heatwave-associated deaths), not to mention it's an entirely different virus.

    Influenza A isn't a coronavirus.
