Clueless twit should keep his mouth shut over things he doesn’t understand. You cannot ascertain the effect of warmer weather when internationally everyone has pushed social distancing at exactly the same time.

This is a logical error of the first magnitude. And the guy perpetrating it is a swindler.

Andy, I assume you are an expert virologist or epidemiological expert. If so, I will grant some credibility to your rant. Most seasonal viruses (including influenza, better known coronaviruses, and SARS) do tend to recede with the advent of warmer weather. That is why seasonal flu is called seasonal flu. If you have a reasoned scientifically valid reason why that is not likely to happen with COVID 19, explain it in this forum. We are not morons and many of us have significant scientific training. If you cannot do so, your rant is nothing but your opinion. As I frequently admonish people here ad hominem attacks are not valid arguments. If you cannot provide a compelling argument end your rant with the “this is just my opinion” disclaimer.

It’s because of increased testing.

As testing increases even more, the numbers will be even steeper.

Not sure why people don’t understand this

costa rica has as of today 117 cases up 4 from yesterday, but they are not pronouncing an end to measures to stop the spread as it can be an abnormality.
Most cases are in the central valley which has more temperate weather. One case is tied to 25 later cases in central valley. Beaches have 90 degree weather 65 % plus humidity (summer) other than 2 cases one in nicoya other in santa cruz, one now in Limon a port city. none near beaches and none in one province, Puntarenas big tourist destination for beaches-Jaco beach etc...

costa rica government has done an outstanding job containing the situation, with quick action and even getting a liquor company to convert from drinking type alcohol to sanitizing liquid, making it available at low cost via post offices.

They have shown that it doesn’t do well outside the body at 80F and above...by your “conclusion”, even if warm weather helps kill it, we won’t be able to say it wasn’t just social distancing so we can never go back to a normal lifestyle.
