- Coronavirus US is seeing a rise in cases 35states on the rise, 12 holdings, 3 decreases.
India may pass the US in total infection cases.

Three reason Winter is of concern with the virus
1. Coronavirus - tends to increase in the fall/winter
2. Winter air is less humid, the virus would tend to stay airborne
3. People tend to spend more time inside buildings - statistically speaking its more likely to be infected inside a building than outside, that is why many restaurants are open for business with outdoor seating only.

La Niña
La Niña is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon that is the colder counterpart of El Niño, as part of the broader El Niño–Southern Oscillation climate pattern. The name La Niña originates from Spanish, meaning "the girl", analogous to El Niño meaning "the boy"
The La Niña story
La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific, compared to El Niño, which is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific. The graphic below shows the sea surface temperature in the equatorial Pacific (20ºN-20ºS, 100ºE-60ºW) from Indonesia on the left to central America on the right.
La Niña Impact on the Global Climate
In the U.S., winter temperatures are warmer than normal in the Southeast, and cooler than normal in the Northwest. Global climate La Niña impacts tend to be opposite those of El Niño impacts. In the tropics, ocean temperature variations in La Niña tend to be opposite those of El Niño.
