You make a valid point.
It spreads easier indoors and at colder temperatures.
It still spreads however in warmer temperatures with no social distancing and a lack of hand hygiene.
There was a study that found it spreads in a meeting room with those who are asymptomatic just through air droplets if they are close to you. So over a table. I don't buy the 1 metre idea.
They are keeping bodies in mortuaries for weeks. Covid deaths and other causes all have to wait. I think it's only Muslims who can bury faster because of the religion.

I thought it odd that hot countries were having outbreaks at the time.
But then someone will say I'm making that up I expect.

Re: Where’s The Predicted Second Outbreak Of Covid-19?
I just read on MSN.com, as reported in The Daily Mail, that the virus has mutated in the U.S., Canada, and the UK. This new, mutated form is supposedly 10 times more infectious than the original virus. NOT 10 TIMES MORE DEADLY. JUST THAT YOU ARE 10 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BECOME INFECTED. ONCE INFECTED WITH THIS NEW MUTATED STRAIN, YOU WILL NOT BECOME MORE SICK OR MORE LIKELY TO DIE.This new bugger, is not done with us, by a long shot. In fact, it is just now gathering steam.
Jeez, what next ? Flies, fleas, frogs, and locusts ?

Re: Where’s The Predicted Second Outbreak Of Covid-19?
The explanation for why Leicester is being locked is puzzling. I can't make head nor tail of the figures in this article. But it does seem we are not seeing all the information being shared. I'm finding it hard to trust the data these days. Seems very understated.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...es-RISING.html

The Health Secretary Matt Hancock is reportedly examining the legislation required for the shutdown after it was revealed that there have been 658 cases of the coronavirus in the Leicester area in the fortnight to June 16.
The Department of Health and Social Care today stopped short of saying a local lockdown was likely for Leicester, but acknowledged the city was an area of concern as it urged residents in the city to be vigilant against the virus, according to The Sunday Times.
Leicester 'could be locked down' says home secretary
https://www.bbc.co.uk
Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Ms Patel said it was "correct" that the government was considering the move, reported in The Sunday Times.
About 25% of Leicester's 2,494 confirmed Covid-19 cases were reported in the two weeks before 16 June.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said Leicester accounted for "10% of all positive cases in the country over the past week".
Mr Hancock said the number of positive coronavirus cases in Leicester was "three times higher than the next highest city", and the relaxation of shielding measures on 6 July - which will allow the most clinical-vulnerable to spend more time outside - will also not take place in Leicester.
Leicester City Council said in a statement: "The latest figures obtained by the city council show that 3,216 Covid-19 cases have been confirmed in Leicester since the start of the epidemic. Of these, 944 cases were reported in the last two weeks.
So, from those figures, one can see the requirement for immediate action.

Well, if opening up the streets, the lanes and the beaches has not "officially" initiated a "second wave" then opening up pubs and restaurants surely will, along with creating mounds of detritus, human and otherwise .....
