#Covid appears to transmit effectively under hot and sticky conditions.
Hope for shortened survival times of C19 at higher relative humidity & temp RH (75%) & F (94. F) are encouraging, but the continued robust transmission rates seen in the tropics is very discouraging.

Docs tell me this isn’t surprising; the upper airway is hot and sticky. “We shouldn’t end mitigation prematurely based on flawed assumptions that C19 will act like seasonal flu.” Quality data on transmission in the tropics and epidemiology in Panama & Singapore suggest otherwise.
