We can HOPE this disease decreases as temps and humidity rise. But maybe not. Diseases evolve to flourish in particular environments. The common cold, I believe, used to be a summer disease because for all time the virus didn't get anywhere if it was trapped inside a small house with a single family all winter. Then, as cities and central heating became a thing, the cold learned to like winter because people were trapped inside where they could transfer the disease to one another yet they moved from place to place, building to building, home to home, too. We don't know if this virus has "learned" to like particular weather yet ... at least in humans. We should hope and pray it's just like other corona viruses but beware!
