A new study uploaded to the research site SSRN over the weekend finds that 90 percent of the coronavirus transmissions have occurred within a specific temperature (37 to 63 degrees) and absolute humidity range. For areas outside this zone, the virus is still spreading, but more slowly, according to the study by two scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"The paper, which was shared with the public before peer review for the benefit of public health officials, notes that even in warm parts of the United States, such as Texas and Florida, cases are not exhibiting the same exponential growth rates as they have in New York and Washington state.
The best-case scenario, according to the study’s authors, is that the rate of spread in parts of the Northern Hemisphere will slow as temperatures warm and humidity increases. However, they warn that if absolute humidity — the total mass of water vapor in a volume of air — is a more important factor in coronavirus transmission, then many cities experiencing a surge in cases, including Boston and Paris, may not get much of a respite in the summer. This is because they don’t get hot and humid enough to put a dent in viral spread.
Other researchers are examining the stability of coronavirus particles in various temperature and humidity conditions.
One of the most puzzling things about the unfolding pandemic in Asia is why many countries and territories in the region, such as Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, have apparently been spared major, rapidly growing outbreaks, despite close contact with China, where the outbreak began."
