Nice straw man. Several on that list had moderate temperatures. And this isn't saying the virus doesn't spread at all it's saying it's a major mitigating factor.

You expecting the virus to just "die" because it's semi-hot in some places or something?

The fuck?

I'm gonna have to say that it is probably true.

I live in the warmest city in Venezuela. We average over 90 degrees fahrenheit all year round. It's also the biggest state population-wise in the country with almost 4 million people.

We have 2 cases in the entire state, out of 200+ "confirmed" nationwide.

No? Not sure where you got that from.

People were saying a month ago that it wouldn't be a big deal when it warmed up, but it still spread like wildfire in those warm places. So hot/humid weather being very detrimental to it doesn't seem to help much. I guess it just makes the virus "bad" instead of "very bad" so that's good news I suppose

You keep setting up this straw man. We're not saying it's a free for all in the summer because we'll all be immune from it. We're saying it's a mitigating factor. Example outdoor equipment like playgrounds the virus will only live for a minute or so under sunny and hot conditions.

Holy fuck how am I setting up a straw man? I'm just saying that some hot places have been hit hard too so I'm not getting my hopes up. Sorry if I wasn't crystal clear from the beginning.

Anyway, I'm aware California gets hotter (like any of the other places I mentioned that aren't California) As mentioned above, I'm just not getting my hopes up that things will get better because of heat. I hope they do.

That's people being dumb. It is a big fucking deal. But It's already proven that you can go for weeks without showing symptoms. You need to wait a good amount of time before new temperatures adjust to really have an idea if the virus spread slows down or not.

Hopes up from what? All we're saying is that a study has confirmed the half life is drastically reduced from the hot weather/humidity. Which implies, the spread won't be as easy. Then you set up this straw man where Italy which was maybe 15 degrees celsius having virus spread disproved this or some other asinine argument.

"Hot/humid weather might slow down the spread"
"It didn't do much in some hot/humid places so I won't get my hopes up that it'll change anything"

Again, sorry for not being crystal clear, it's been a long day.

So let me spell this out for you.

All other factors considered equal, having hot/humid conditions will have less spread than other weather, based on these findings.

It doesn't mean if you have hot/humid weather and ignore public health practices that the virus won't spread at all.

Just shut the fuck up for once in your life. You apparently believe anything Trump says despite you not living here, i bet you'd vote for the jackass if you did live here. You seem the type to do so.

But a couple months ago certain people said "oh the warm spring weather will slow it" and now it's "oh the hot summer weather will slow it" so until some damn weather starts slowing it down I'm just not assuming anything. I hope it's accurate.

You implied it. Your counter argument to this study was that Italy and Iran had spread of the virus. What were their public health measures when this was spreading originally? 0. So you need to consider public health measures as well, we're not saying that it's summer time so it's a free for all and everything will be okay. It's another mitigating factor.

Italy had the entire damn country on lockdown. Not sure if Iran did anything though.

It didn't prevent it there (Italy and Iran were not hot by the way they were mild) - but other hot areas like Mexico still have the spread because of public health measures. Public health measures are the most important part of the equation. Consider public health measures static and we get the summer wave, the virus will spread less easily and die off much faster than before.
