Apparently it is relatively easy to control this virus during the summer, and almost impossible during the winter. Australia's summer seems to be helping it a good deal, even as winter in the northern hemisphere is making things much worse.

- NathanWilliams 6y agoChecking in from Sydney here, summer is still a month away, my family is snuggled on the lounge under blankets right now. The result comes down to a competent government response to a public health crisis. Not the weather.
- lostlogin 6y agoHere in New Zealand the virus was eradicated in the winter, then again in the late winter/spring. Did the US and UK control it in their summers?
- thinkingemote 6y agoNZ completely closed the borders. That's a huge factor.
- lostlogin 6y agoReturning residents bring in covid - they have been allowed back at all stages. Some days there is none, but on most days several cases come into the country. Essential workers are also allowed in, although this has become a political football. For example, a equestrian race track builder was allowed in.
- anotherevan 6y agoWe are not in summer yet (i.e., I do not see any bushfires outside my window) but the weather is starting to warm up a bit (many low to mid-20C days) here in Melbourne. I'm not convinced weather is the only factor.
- rswail 6y agoWe've been in winter since June. We're only just into spring here, so no, summer hasn't helped (yet).
