Yep, it seemed for a long time Africa would be spared a big outbreak but they have been growing steadily as well.
Australia just did things right, nothing to do with the heat.

Australia except for the state of Victoria. The morons. - 75 new cases there the other day... Because people thought protesting was a good idea.
And because of the uptick in cases we have toilet paper shortages across the entire continent again, so now Victoria is forced to go back into lock down.
Most states that have opened their borders are staying closed to Victoria... However many "Grey Nomads" are selfishly taking back roads to get into other states. (Australia is vast at the end of the day, we can't lock down every road.)
In saying that, the Australian heat persisted until late March anyway when the virus started to gain traction so we were still exhibiting warm weather, the weather does have an effect on viral transmission, it's just not the biggest or only factor.

Most of the cases in Victoria weren't linked to the protests. More were connected to family gatherings and people not self-isolating while awaiting test results. So still idiotic, but contrary to what the a lot of the media and the Liberal Party are claiming, the spike wasn't precipitated by the BLM protests.
