Actually, these viruses tend to have similar mutations in masse. It is built into their genome to mutate.
As for temp, the only thing I have seen is that in areas of higher temps, there doesn't seem to be any changes but that is still debatable. Is it warmer in China because it certainly seems to be declining there.
The quarantines have been effective... Not sure if dying out is the right term.... Contained seems more appropriate..
Some studies I read showed that it didn't do well at higher temperatures... But they were conducted at 60-70 Celsius.... Other studies showed it was fine at these temperatures... I can't find a study concerning 20-35C like we get in the summers.... We've certainly had a cold spring so far...
