- HPsquared 5y agoIn hot places with widespread air conditioning there is also usually a summer peak (people go indoors and close windows, just as they do in cooler places in winter). SA has had peaks in both winter and summer.
- Trumpi 5y agoAir conditioning is rare in South African homes. They keep cool in the summer by opening their windows and doors, and with swimming pools. South African businesses, however, almost all have air conditioning.
- PraetorianGourd 5y agoOh good point. I know that is the case for the US South and I find it somewhat silly that media in the US always blames southern surges on anti-mask and anti-lockdown sentiments but the winter surge in the North is new variants etc. without all the victim blaming.
