I read the contrary from an expert:

But there is good news, Longini said, at least temporarily, for populations in certain areas. In North America and Europe, summer will soon begin, ending the traditional flu season. Even outbreaks such as swine flu tend to follow standard flu season patterns, he said.

Other parts of the world may not be so lucky.

"Timing is terrible for people in the Southern Hemisphere -- places like New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, parts of South America, "Longini said. "They are just coming into their flu season."

and I lived 5 years in Mexico City, man! they live under a cloud of smog, and no many fauna survive that... so no 'hotness' apply...

p.s. the only good thing coming from Canada was Pamela Anderson
