Right.
Also less prevalent in warm and humid regions (though spread in Singapore and Thailand is ... interesting).
This is among the reasons my concerns' been on a breakout in North Korea, which has both a meterological and political/epidemiological climate that seems highly favourable to outbreak of a disease such as 2019-nCoV.
Though it's politically viable to order a near-complete shutdown of transportation and travel, the likelihood of this being effective (particularly against high-level party members breaking quarantine), or pragmatically possible to sustain (what exists of the PRK economy likely requires people in close contact), limiting epidemiological effectiveness.
