We need to think about Africa.

There is an understanding that the virus doesnt like hot weather but (given the number cases in southern Italy and Florida) this is a dangerous assumption.

Africa has much less capacity to deal with this than the west and they are getting cases. While the developed world itself is struggling, we at least have facilities or the capacity to make them. African countries can't borrow money and dont have the industrial capacity so others will need to help them.

This is from a humanitariam point of view and also self interest. If we deal with our owm crisis, we can still get the virus back from others as coronavirus does not care about borders.

If the virus is inhibited by warmer weather, it will start infecting more in the Southern Hemisphere during their winter months and the reappear in the Northern Hemisphere for another go around September. We're a long way from this being controlled.

By the way, I just saw Boris on TV. He looks awful. Maybe his case isn't as mild as reported.
