> "Both these claims are not backed by any evidence" There is evidence for the weather claim, but it's complicated by other factors. Multiple studies [1] have observed a correlation between weather/UV and severity of outbreak. Wuhan, Milan, Madrid, Qom, UK, Korea and Northern USA have all fit a comparable weather profile during their outbreaks. The problem is that this virus seems to be more durable/resilient than other seasonal viruses (flu, common cold), and even in hot climates, many people still spend a lot of time congregated in air conditioned office/residential buildings, shopping centres, public transportation systems, etc. So it's true that hot weather alone is not enough to end an outbreak. But it can reduce the extent/severity, and the observed evidence seems to bear that out.
