The whole thing about warmer region being less infected is still very much controversial, and not backed by any strong science.

India, like other warmer regions, has not been very active in the diagnostic. This is also what explains the low numbers you in Africa, Middle-East, and part of Asia.

Right now there is only one way that we currently have to stop this, and it is to do it Wuhan-style. Full lockdown for 8 weeks.

And forget about chloroquinone, studies published over the past 2 days are showing that it doesn't make a dent if you are already infected.

What I believe is that warmer regions would slow it down because it travels through water droplets which won't stay longer in the air in summer.

The virus they have to alive to be killed by sun rays(Yeah UV rays can destroy virus but in that case, we already be having skin cancer by now.)

Difference is that, cells can replace and repair themselves, this virus cannot.

Louisiana is not slouching in number of infected cases so that should put paid to warm weather hypothesis

[Amygaz]

What are you talking about? Louisiana as a over a 1100 cases and they went in shutdown mode yesterday!

[selimthegrim]

Is not slouching meaning they have plenty, so warm weather is not a panacea. I live here, I know.

How hot is Louisiana right now ? 110 will be normal for a large part of India in a month.
