'Dr Anthony Fauci, one of America's (And the world's) most respected infection control experts, highlights a rather concerning trend: The Southern Hemisphere, where the disease seemed to be largely controlled previously, is starting to see an exponential growth in cases.
Dr Fauci indicates that this is probably something to do with the seasons (The Southern Hemisphere is now in Autumn rather than the summer), and if this is the case the pandemic will begin to ease off in the Northern Hemisphere within a few weeks, but this almost certainly means that the disease will come back in full force in the winter. This is what he said:
" Fauci told reporters during a White House briefing that more cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus have begun to appear in the Southern Hemisphere, which is transitioning into colder seasons.
If there is an outbreak in the Southern Hemisphere, Fauci said "it will be inevitable" that the disease will make a comeback even if it is temporarily stopped.
New studies show that warm, humid weather might slow the virus — which could mean the pandemic will ease in the coming summer months in North America and Europe." '
