    I do think there's something to the theory that the virus spreads less easily in hot weather.

    No other explanation I can think of for why so many countries in Asia...Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia...are reporting just a handful of cases in spite of having big exposure to China.

    Also notice there are almost no cases in India. No cases in Africa which is strange...

    • But this has not been proven and I haven't seen any evidence that it's killed at 26 degrees or any specific temperatureyuekit
    • its plausible... we'll seeBennn
    • also aging vs younger population_niko
    • So far all clear in 3rd world countries, Mexico, Africa, India. Same population does not have desposible income to travel. It's a rich mans flu.robotron3k
    • Maybe the endgame of all this is gonna be thousands of Americans fleeing towards the Mexican border...yuekit
    • I should say developing countries, which places in SEA is a part of...robotron3k
    • Only to find "the wall" standing in their way. It will be a big dramatic moment like ending of Planet of the Apesyuekit
    • yeah travelling is a huge thing in thisBennn
    • Many people travel to SEA countries though. Including millions of Chinese. Which makes it a mystery why there was not a bigger outbreak.yuekit
    • Chinese are hated in most all of SEA, they are only allowed in certain parts of Vietnam and their tour buses are greeted by rocks in the countryside.robotron3k
    • Love hate relationship though, without China the economies of those countries would collapse.yuekit
    • There is some truth to this, but many of the coronaviruses that COVID-19 is suspected to have mutated from have demonstrated long latency periods.garbage
    • So they're just going to hibernate during the summer, and come back in the fall.garbage
    • The total lack of healthcare or resources might have something to do with it. Remember how Malaysia was "investigating" that lost plane?zarkonite
    • More likely less reporting in countries with rickety healthcare systems, younger populations and higher mortality rates.monoboy
    • < generally. Also, not a peep from Russia. Its cold there.monoboy
    • Singapore, Taiwan and HK acted super rapidly too. My sis is in KL. Authorities are on it.monoboy
    • robotron, you are one ignorant dumb fuck who has no idea what you're talking about.Khurram

    • I have trouble believing all these governments could cover up hundreds of people dying every day. In China and Italy, hospitals are completelyyuekit
    • overwhelmed. That does not appear to be happening in these countries.yuekit
