Like Flu, COVID-19 May Turn Out to Be Seasonal
Like influenza, could COVID-19 evolve to wax and wane with the seasons? New research suggests it might.
Early in the pandemic, some experts suggested that SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — may behave like many other coronaviruses that circulate more widely in fall and winter.
To find out if that could be true, researchers analyzed COVID-19 data — including cases, death rates, recoveries, testing rates and hospitalizations — from 221 countries. The investigators found a strong association with temperature and latitude.
