I do hope you can accept I find it impossible to write pompously and full of myself and having a large haemorroid irritating me.
I write tongue in cheek and maybe with a foot in my mouth when I wrote of having sauna and steam bath to chuck coviders and folks with flu inside to cure them. After all, when enough other people got this fetish that covid and flu sure to die off in summer when it got warmer than 20C, I should be entitiled to my tongue in cheek beliefs.
It's not a fetish. Influenza, absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, as a matter of fact, becomes sluggish in the summer. Nothing absolutely dies off. Very few people do get flu in the summer. However, we don't have a flu season in the summer. Lab works all around the world show convincing and consistent data that influenza and other known Coronaviruses love low temperatures less than 10oC, die off more easily at >20oC, die off quickly at high temperatures >50oC. Even COVID-19 has been shown, in the lab, to survive the best at 6oC and die more quickly as temperature goes up. Those are facts.
Again, I acknowledge that we still have no conclusive data on the COVID-19, as an outbreak, on the dependence of temperature. Later on, it may even be possible that clinical data show that the COVID-19 doesn't care about the hot weather. However, assuming such possibility is definitely not a fetish. This is because other Coronaviruses and flu do HATE hot weather (this is a FACT). Because of the high similarity between the COVID-19 and other Coronaviruses and flu, it is then a simple logical extrapolation that the COVID-19 may behave in a similar fashion. We may be proven wrong later, but that shouldn't be the basis for ridicule.
