How to put this carefully:

There are *many* uncertainties surrounding coronavirus *including* about weather.

It seems like the uncertainties are greater if you do *not* assume that weather plays some role in why it spreads more/faster in some places than others.

And that& #39;s also what most of the research seems to find. The headlines are often like "don& #39;t count on weather to kill coronavirus". But the research itself generally seems to find some effect, though one that& #39;s 1) uncertain and 2) very unlikely to be enough to stop it on its own.

Also, some of the "don& #39;t get people& #39;s hopes up about weather!" sentiment seems misguided even from a strategic communications standpoint, because it could lead to a case where things seem "surprisingly" good in the summer then come back with a vengeance in the fall.
