Heat doesn't kill it quicker. Certain types of UV light does.
The amount required though is a bigger problem than Covid however.

'Holding steady' in the US appears to be a bit more of a changing in the hot spots for the pandemic. Arizona is a very hot state, and it is finding more and more cases each day at a growing rate.
This could be due to it being a place so hot most want to stay inside. Or that heat may not play as big of a role as we hope.
Personally, I just think it took time for the spread to make its way there in a big way. Same with other states facing similar upticks. Not to mention a few of those were least concerned about a slow reopening.

This is IHME's projected timeline of US deaths. Look at that huge increase in the curve starting in September. If this ends up being accurate and it continues through October and November things will be very bad.
We might end up seeing something similar to the Spanish Flu where the 2nd wave was much worse than the first. I doubt America is willing or able to go into a 2nd lockdown but we will see.
Active cases in Canada continue to decline. Under 30 000 now. 2585 in Ontario which has entered their 2nd phase of reopening.
I'm worried about Quebec which has most of the rest of the active cases and have already opened schools. My mother lives in a tourist area and has already seen license plates from Quebec too which is worrying to say the least.
I'm hoping the US/Canada border remains closed to non-essential travel until there is a vaccine.

Heat probably doesn't effect it that much. We don't have evidence of it lessening due to heat. (Definitely don't listen to Trump's Coronavirus advice and speculations. If you were, you'd be dead of bleach injection, skin cancer, and so on. Listen to medical experts.)

Brazil has a ton of cases with many of the same problems that the USA has had with the pandemic, from not shutting down well enough to beat it, hiding number of cases, and so on.

Brazil is the fastest growing.
I think they are likely to overtake the US at some point.

It depends on how they handle it. They have less people, but it could happen.

They currently have 930k confirmed cases and only 1.6 million tests.
That's a huge % of positives.
Untested positive cases are likely going to be very high as they aren't doing enough testing.

I don't know if I'd call this official. No input from an actual doctor... just a reporter speaking to a woman who says she has caught it a second time. Maybe it's true, and the reporting is just sloppy, but at face value, this isn't official.Don’t know if this is technically a relapse, infection by a new strain, or an indicator that exposure to Covid-19 does not convey strong and lasting immunity, but we have one official case of a woman being hospitalized after catching covid-19 for the second time this year.
