Hot humid weather tends to kill these pandemics because water droplets carrying the virus when people sneeze or cough is trapped in the air’s moisture and falls harmlessly to the ground.
A sneeze of cough in cold dry air can travel a shocking distance.

Very interesting!
So it’s not the heat that kills the virus, but the humidity that traps it and shortens the range.
(The precautions about handwashing etc are still apply)
What method of transmission happens with an asymptomatic person; how does he or she spread it if not coughing or sneezing?
The places with the outbreaks have been in the 40s (no hotter, no colder)— Tehran, Northern Italy, Seattle, New York, etc; or in places with air conditioning
Singapore reports and publishes every transmission in great detail and literally every single transmission was in a heavily air conditioned place.

I hope you are right. Saw this from Broward County
@HealthyFla
The Florida Department of Health announces a new positive #COVID19 case in Broward County. This individual is a 67 year old male who is currently isolated.
so stick everyone in a sauna for 15 minutes...
Does it matter if it’s inside or outside? Will keeping inside temp high help?
However, Singapore which has hot, humid weather year around still has a number of cases.
