How could it return, if it never leaves?

Explain it.

Here is one explanation

Further, researchers noted that it can take years for new viruses to settle into a predictable pattern. And even if the new coronavirus' spread does wane in the Northern Hemisphere during the summer, researchers warned that the virus could reappear in autumn, when humidity and temperatures fall, the Wall Street Journal reports.

@wolfgang59

So you can't explain it using your beliefs.

It certainly fits the flu season idea that I have said from the start. For those who reject that idea, how do you explain it?

Fall makes people stop keeping their social distance? While during summer people stay far away from each other?

Or will cases rise in the Southern Hemisphere as cases drop in the Northern?

Cases of this virus have now spread virtually across the globe. Northern & Southern hemisphere, hot & cold climates, dry & wet, from Australia to Iceland. The reality of what is happening does not fit with your flu season theory.

Everyone is in spring or fall. It is the exact time when you would see it spread anywhere.

Well it certainly is not Summer anywhere.

It will be interesting to see in June how things are going.

What are their summer time highs?

Right now nobody knows why winter viruses go away for the summer and return in the fall.

My theory, it is many factors working together. It is not simply the heat and humidity, I believe the increased UV during the summer months also plays a part. It has a positive effect on our immune system and a negative effect on the viruses themselves. Combine that with the actual weather conditions and the virus all but goes away until conditions are right for its return.
