Ask HN: Covid-19 Map by Temperature?

1 points by eternalny1 ↗ HN
Has anyone created a Covid-19 map by average current temperature in the country?

The Johns Hopkins map seems to show this hitting the northern hemisphere (exiting winter currently) worse than the southern hemisphere (exiting summer). I am curious if the temperature plays a role here.

I know the virus has a lipid layer protecting it, and that is sensitive to heat. I am wondering if warmer temperatures are going to help out here in the northern hemisphere, and if so, my thoughts is this is going to be become seasonal like the flu.

Google covid by latitude. Lot of papers.
