From the article:
“In addition, this paper — “Temperature and Latitude Analysis to Predict Potential Spread and Seasonality for COVID-19” — presents evidence linking the Wuhan coronavirus with non-warm weather within a specific range. The authors say:
To date, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, has established significant community spread in cities and regions only along a narrow east-west distribution roughly along the 30-50 N” corridor at consistently similar weather patterns (5-11 degrees Celsius and 47-79% humidity).
The paper includes a table of cities hard hit by the virus and the temperatures in those cities during the relevant time period. The authors say that in Bangkok, where the temperature has been much higher, the virus has not taken hold.”
