How could COVID-19 pandemic change in the season? Will there be less transmission of coronavirus in summer? Will COVID-19 Coronavirus become like seasonal influenza? That is a very important question. And I have to say that I move out of my comfort zone as I discussed this. And that’s to some extent the domain of epidemiologists. I would note that there seems to be a trend in warmer countries toward less severe epidemics at the moment. But one has to be very careful and also remember that the temperatures change across the planet. And as a consequence, what more mild epidemics now might be more severe later.
