Coronaviruses are strongly affected by climate -- that's why we have "cold season". Maybe the endemic coronaviruses aren't endemic in Brazil's warm and humid climate?
- Scoundreller 6y agoWarm and humid can go both ways, because sometimes it means more time indoors wherever there is climate control, shade or cold drinks at-hand. And the poorer/denser the country, even more congregation in the fewer climate controlled spaces there are.
