Someone send me a private email (suggested to send to the list) that
effectively shows that the virus is not resistent to heat, so as much as
we move towards spring/summer, less chances to propagate. Of course, we
should not ask to have the meeting rooms freezing!
There is also humidity factor

"At humidity levels of 23 percent, 70 to 77 percent of the flu virus
particles were still able to cause an infection an hour after the coughing
simulation. But when humidity levels were raised to 43 percent, just 14
percent of the virus particles had the ability to infect. Most of the flu
particles became inactive 15 minutes after they were released into the
humid air. "The virus just falls apart," at high humidity levels, said
study researcher John Noti, of the CDC's National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health."
