While i think you are right about that the coronavirus will most likely decline as the weather heats up, I think a better comparison to look at would be the Sars epidemic in 2003 rather than the flu.

In that case, rather than diminishing rapidly in March, it diminished in May. [1]

In either case, any step at delaying the spread of the virus will have a dramatic effect on the ultimate death toll.

...and that's not surprising given the vulnerability data we have on SARS: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265313/

COVID19 is likely very similar.
