@Daanyaal. This video is about Sweden. If you want to know about NZ or Taiwan then look for those videos instead of expecting one video to answer all of your questions.

@Rodney Wienand I have seen no evidence to indicate that a higher temperature results in lower infection rates. Brazil for example has had day time temps around 20 °C lately and has the most cases in South America at 85,000. And worse yet their death rate just doubled in 8 days from 2900 to 5900. Other countries further north like Peru and Ecuador have cases in tens of thousands which suggests that warmer temps have little effect on the how fast the virus spreads. You may be referring to primarily East Asian countries which utilized effective shut down and testing policies to limit the spread of the virus. It is probably also true that NZ being so remote had less introduction of the virus up to this point then other countries to the north. Plus with a country of only about five million in such a large country there would be less spread for that reason as well. Thus it is likely that temperature had little to do with the lower infection rate.

@Rodney Wienand I will also add that the reason cases have been dropping in the northern hemisphere because of shelter in place and social distancing policies not because of warmer temperatures as I pointed out in South American examples. Right here in New Mexico the temperature has pushed up over 30°C and we are seeing an INCREASE of cases in western and north western NM particularly associated with the Navajo reservation which further casts doubt on your claim.

There is no proof that exposure to the virus confers immunity. Have a nice day.

@Rodney Wienand Your comment earlier claims that the virus dies out quicker at temperatures above 16°C. Like I said in a previous comment temps warmer then 16°C in Brazil don't seem to have slowed the infection at all. Such is the case in Sao Paulo where current temps are 20°C and has the most cases at 26,000 and increasing. Ecuador to the north is warmer still and has an explosion of cases. This is a catastrophe on a massive scale. We will hit 1 million dead by mid summer or sooner.

@Rodney Wienand Good for you for doing your research. Have a nice day.

That assumes that people exposed to the virus who also became sick will not necessarily be immune in the future which is not guaranteed. The reality is 80 % of those exposed to covid19 will experience little to no symptoms in the first wave or second. So it is those survivors who could again be at risk in the future.

There is no good evidence that this was a man made virus. This is a conspiracy theory meme which as usual is weak on evidence.

@peznino1 It is indeed much more likely that the virus came from an animal an in fact a specific species of bats have been tested that had the sarscor2 virus present. In addition to that if any lab was to create a virus like the coronavirus they would inevitably have to rely on computer modeling to determine what elements must be included in the virus modeling prior to actually building the virus in a lab. The problem is the sarscor2 virus doesn't look anything like what the computer models look like. In other words the virus evolved in a very unpredictable pathway to become the highly infectious and lethal virus it has become. There are people who are involved in this kind of evaluation that are way smarter then you or I and I have learned to respect what the science says rather then some conspiracy theory wonks who never ever has any real evidence to support their argument.
