        Most people work inside in close proximity to others regardless of weather though

              A much bigger deal is when all of the small petri dishes are finished with school. A big step for them is to be able to go outside during the day, then more time away from school, and then school's out. Kids get sick a lot easier and tend to be the faster spreader than adults. Especially since they have not developed any people avoidance tendencies at that age.

              Heck, spring break is a big deal stopping kids getting sick- when then has a massive impact on the general population.

                As for the crowding argument, Dr. McCullers said, “That never made sense.” People work all year round and crowd into buses and subways and planes no matter what the season.
                Kids are in school until June, but cold and flu season has already subsided.

                    Obviously close quarters = more opportunities for transmission.

                    However, for the average person work and travel (bus, airplane, subway) is by far the largest opportunity and is pretty consistent regardless of weather.

                    The cold weather = cooped up as being the driver of flu season doesn’t stand up. There is scientific evidence that shows low humidity and low temperatures are key to the spread of flu (and I assume Coronavirus)


                    Anyway, Trump is actually right if he says that some people think higher humidity and temperatures will help get Coronavirus under control because there is scientific evidence that says so.

                      After reading the NYT article posted here, and a few more I found on my own volition, it’s obvious the close quarters theory only tells a small fraction of the story. I made the mistake of accepting my school textbooks’ explanation, and not doing my own research on the subject. Thank you, USCHO, for guiding me to a deeper understanding of how the certain viruses spread. Fascinating stuff.

                        All in all, it's effing scary. Each new outbreak of a supervirus seems to be getting worse. Mutations,etc, holy hannah. Mother Nature will always win in the long run. Ugh.

                          Right, but more people travel during the winter, we have tons of holiday parties where work and social circles merge, and we have parties exclusively in enclosed areas where aerosolized infectious agents can linger instead of being scattered.

                              You guys can believe whatever you want, but there is peer reviewed scientific research that suggests it’s the temperature and humidity that are the primary drivers of flu season, not peoples’ travel schedule or the office Christmas party.

                                That would imply that in places like Miami and all the Caribbean, the flu would not be a big deal. Somehow it is. Puerto Rico is always hot and always humid- and they still have flu problems. And ships that sail in the Caribbean are constantly in the same hot and very humid air, and they, too, have flu issues.

                                There may be evidence, but the other evidence suggests that there is something else going on other than heat and humidity. Correlation is not causation.
