A member asked:
Will the coronavirus become less severe when the weather gets warmer even if there's a resurgence next winter?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Potentially: It is unclear at this time whether the virus becomes less severe with environmental heat, or even if the virus is an annual occurance. It may just remain active in the population until a vaccine or other preventative such as herd immunity is available.
