Plenty of warm areas are being hit hard, but a lot of warm countries have "reporting issues" (look at the excess deaths in Jakarta for an example). Heat might lower R0 by some amount but it's still way above 1 without measures
- paganel 6y agoThere's also strong correlation inside the same countries regarding the more sun = less deaths vs less sun = more deaths. The best examples that I can give are Italy, where Rome and everything South of of it has ridden the pandemic wave pretty ok (with the slight exception of the region of Puglia) and Spain, where the region of Andalusia in the South has had only a 5% or so excess in the number of deaths for this year
- marcosdumay 6y agoIn Brazil the correlation is going almost perfectly as more sun = more deaths.
- raverbashing 6y agoIt is possible the correlation is: more outdoors -> less deaths Where the relationship with "more outdoors" is kinda temperature dependent (not too cold nor too hot) and culturally/regionally dependent
