Why no one knows if COVID-19 is seasonal

  • 4 years ago
As COVID-19 continues to spread worldwide many people have wondered whether warmer weather will slow it down. That's because the flu is transmitted much more easily in winters, dry and cold conditions with cases dropping when humidity levels rise in spring and summer. Yet, it is not the same as the flu and the susceptible pool of people who can be infected is much larger. So seasonality won't have as much of an impact until more people develop immunity to it. For now, physical distancing will have a much more efficient impact on slowing the virus.
