No, because I get the flu vaccination and haven't had it, so you and I have no idea how I might survive getting it. However, I am very sure that had I got it at the start of my issue, over a decade ago, I wouldn't be here now.

How are people handling their Internet connectivity requirements? I'd like to hear how people are handing the networking aspect of working at home, particularly network latency (important for interactive services) and security. My internet connection has taken a nose dive recently, and at times its almost unusable.

No problem here atm. VDSL link with close to 90Mbit down and 20 MBit uplink. But my direct neighborhood is completely void of power users. Suburb with mostly old people.

COVID-19 has spread to some tropical countries and on board cruise ships, which would have been pretty well heated. UVB radiation will destroy the virus, but it will only make a difference to picking up the virus on surfaces outdoors, so I doubt the UV index makes that much of a difference.

There are a couple of studies that show a good correlation between case loads and a particular temperature range, but correlation doesn't ensure causality. Remember that most of those warms places with significant case loads were hit early in Spring. Singapore is hot for the whole year, but has so many overworking air cons that you can spend long periods at unreasonably low temperatures there.

Our ISP says their traffic is up 30% since the start of the lockdown. So far, performance hasn't shown an obvious change.
