Will coronavirus stop spreading with the coming of spring and rising temperatures? This is one of the most important issues that world leaders are discussing lately, concerned about the state of the countries. In February, in one of his statements, Trump said he was almost certain that "the heat will kill this kind of virus."
Seasonal viruses or such as coronavirus tend to spread more rapidly in winter. This is because the air is dry and bacteria are easier to transmit from one another to low temperatures.
People's immune system in winter is also weaker due to lack of sunlight and vitamin D.
During the winter, people also tend to stay in and out of crowded places.
This logic has led political leaders or experts to think that the same thing will happen with the coronavirus. However, it has not yet been established whether this virus will behave the same as others.
"Older viruses, which have long been in the population and of which humans are already immune, tend to spread more during the winter because weather conditions favor the microbe more. New viruses do not necessarily wait for the winter that to spread. "- said one of the Harvard epidemiologists.
So far, this new coronavirus has shown that there is a need for public health intervention to prevent it rather than just waiting for spring to slow down.
