Why people are more concerned about the winter is because
1. The virus will have 6 months in which to mutate possibly to a more deadly strain.
2. Peoples immune systems are weaker in colder weather, I think our winters in the northern hemisphere get a bit colder than yours in Australia.
Also many councils were in trouble only 4 months because they weren't prepared for the cold weather. Much of the country ground to a halt because
they were unable to clear a small amount of snow and ice.
Perhaps they don't want to be caught being unprepared again?
