I can understand your point, but I think that is not going to be the case. As I understood, these viruses like mild climates. All souther countries are safer, in a way that virus can't survive for too long. And soon when the summer heat will reach China, the virus will whither there also.

The virus is spreading just fine in warmer climates like Singapore. You can't make that assumption.

No, the virus appears to be quite well contained in Singapore. The number of new patients in the last three days was 0, 1, and 1 respectively, all tied to known clusters and found through aggressive contact tracing and testing.

This virus should love the cold AC climate of Singapore.

It's not really spreading that much there. And Singaporeans love to be inside with AC.
