I was under the impression that the mechanism for climate affecting transmission was that virus particles stay alive and aloft longer in colder, drier weather, and not related to receptor binding dynamics. It's obviously nice to know that binding dynamics don't seem to change with temperature, but the way the headline is presented seems to make a very different claim than the far more specific, and imo, less practically relevant claim that it actually makes.
