@eladar saidInstead of delaying life we should learn to adapt with PPE and continue seeking a vaccine which won't be, cuz it never is, 100% coverage.
Right now nobody knows why winter viruses go away for the summer and return in the fall.
My theory, it is many factors working together. It is not simply the heat and humidity, I believe the increased UV during the summer months also plays a part. It has a positive effect on our immune system and a negative effect on the viruses themselves. Combine that with the actual weather conditions and the virus all but goes away until conditions are right for its return.
It just sucks is all.
As for air travel, people now need their own separate masks with oxygen to ever feel safe again to fly.
People now need to forever stop hugging/kissing, etc. and wear PPE for the rest of their lives.

The infectious diseases expert told CBS’s “Face The Nation” that it’s likely the virus “will assume a seasonal nature” because it is unlikely to be contained around the world this year.
“Unless we get this globally under control there is a very good chance that it’ll assume a seasonal nature,” he said.
Looks like the experts agree with me, Carona Virus is a flu season sickness.

@eladar saidThose may be factors with a corona virus or at least some of them. I found out the common cold can be a few different virus' and not just one kind.

Here is an excerpt from the link below:
"Rhinovirus. This bunch is most active in early fall, spring, and summer. They cause 10%-40% of colds. You'll feel plenty miserable when you catch one, but the good news is they rarely make you seriously sick."
https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/cold-guide/common_cold_causes
Then there is this:
"Coronavirus. These tend to do their dirty work in the winter and early spring. The coronavirus is the cause of about 20% of colds. There are more than 30 kinds, but only three or four affect people."
Do you have any idea why they have different seasonal patterns?

Looks like Rhinovirus needs humidity, but what I have read, in northern and southern hemisphere Rhinovirus is on a spring and fall event, not Summer.
There are studies where Vitamin D lowers respitory infection rates. That helps to explain why winter viruses are not in the summer.
