Making such a comparison is non-trivial; does any highly developed western democracy share China's population size and density?
I'm more curious about how this will affect India, where the population situation is more similar to China's. I haven't seen any mention of the virus there in the news, yet.
Part of the reason I had been hoping this virus wouldn't hit Florida (where I live) until summertime. It's miserably hot and humid down here from about June to September.
I tellya what, Florida real estate just went from bad to worse.
As if sea level rise swamping much of the coastal land wasn't enough, there's the so-called "silver tsunami" -- a large wave of Baby Boomers dying, and their homes being backfilled by a much smaller cohort of new retirees over the coming years.
If the virus becomes widespread in retiree-heavy areas, it's gonna compress a decade-plus of mortality into an incredibly short span. All sorts of places will be affected, but Florida is in for the worst of it.

Supposedly the climate may impede the virus’ ability to spread.

Also, school would be out.

Only until the winter returns.
During the Spanish Flu, it was the 2nd wave the following winter that killed the most people.
