DeSantis isn't "whining", he and we Floridians are pissed. Over one million New Yorkers fled the State, mainly the City, and the number one destination has been Florida.
And if heat really does slow the coronavirus, Florida is in a good place. It's hot this spring! Next 4-5 days it will reach the lower or mid 90's in Central Florida.
They should be pissed...not just because some of those NYers may be carriers, but because traffic is about to get much worse and the amount of bitching about "rednecks" and "i like X better in NY" will go up about 10000%.
EDIT: Oh and also "wow, things are so much cheaper here...I think I'll stay and vote Democrat."
As someone else mentioned, warmer climate alone doesn't stop Wuhan virus from spreading and killing people. I'd be very interested in studying the effects of sunbathing though! Several hours, many days in a row. Not to get a good early season base tan, although it would do that too. It might boost our immune system so much the virus doesn't stand a chance? We lose the ability to create vitamin D via exposure to sunlight with age. Vitamin D is a key component of our immune system. Who knows what else sunlight does? Sunlight is magic. A well designed test might show 25-50% reduction in infection and also that much reduction of symptoms in the already infected? Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Can't believe New Yorkers would be so irresponsible as to flee, except - of course they would. New Yorkers gonna New York.
There is some reason to think the virus doesn't like hot steamy weather. In those areas where it's humid as well as hot, it would be interesting to see if the spread begins to slow.
I have read this too. In my experience extraordinarily low humidity is good for my health, while high humidity damn near kills me. My bias is to expect our arid west to be a good area to recover, but yes it will be good to have data on this variable.
Also, a pallet of goods in cardboard boxes, will direct sunlight reduce the time this virus can live on the surface?
If we aren't careful we might just reinfect everybody simply from cargo.
I really like the idea of everybody having a supply of HCQ
Heat doesn't slow COVID-19 it seems, based on the fact it's spreading like crazy in areas in southern hemisphere that's already hot summer. Could be wrong, but that's what I heard from a couple sources.

Considering Trump relocated from NY to Florida that is a bad idea!
Yankees are the worst.
Florida isn't really southern anymore though. I mean, it stops in north FL.

When the sun is above 50 degrees from the horizon, you get UV B which helps you make vitamin D, and the UV is tough on viruses
Ha! The sun rarely gets that high here. Just starting to now, but only briefly. Interesting fact
It will around noon in mid-April

I'd take those odds. Sunshine State looks good from WI, lol
I'm glad that the temps will be hot...hopefully it will stop the spread of it.
The virus or New Yorkers?
Hopefully both.

What if it's from people flying to those areas? Like the New Yorkers who flew to Florida.
People flying to Africa?
There’s a lot of Chinese business in Africa
The Southern Hemisphere just entered their fall season.
Because it is a cold virus.
