As far as I can remember reading, Covid does not really transmit when outside. It's mainly happening due to people getting together inside.

My very amateur assessment of national and regional Covid trends is that higher rates of spread seem to correspond very highly with "indoors weather" conditions. That's heating season in colder climates, cooling season in warmer ones.

But yes: people gathering, indoors, largely with recirculated air.
