Wow! Crazy! Except... NY, NJ, IL, MI, PA... in the cold? With heater usage? Maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with where those things are used... indoors!

Brazil really hitting up those ACs right now

https://www.statista.com/statistics/911064/worldwide-air-conditioning-penetration-rate-country/

I find these statistics highly doubtful if they don't have Israel up there (possibly higher than the US) as a high percentage of households with AC.

I would assume that Gulf States (as in Persian Gulf) should also be up there.

I'm shocked to see it's that high. I'd have guessed less than 5% in Brazil.
Still have PTSD of staying by people for shabbos with their windows open when it was in the 90s and the mossies biting the living daylights out of us.

Fair. I don’t know the website well. On a hunch, I’d still guess Brazilians don’t have too many air conditioners running ;)

Have you been to Europe? After all, Brazil is considered by many to be an EM, but Western Europe (at least back in the 90s) had very low AC adoption. Can you imagine renting a car from a major company (Avis) that doesn't have AC? And many homes didn't have AC (definitely not central).

Clearly because of all the ACs in the favelas  ;D ;D ;D ;D
This might just be the funniest COVID theory I've read yet.

Well, I can tell you that the during the superspreader even in my house on Purim the AC was working hard (and most likely didn't manage to keep the place cool). An annoying (new?) feature of the Ecobee is that it posts a notice when it senses that AC doesn't manage to cool the space for an extended period of time. Notice pops up on the screen, and doesn't go away until one touches OK, so nothing can be read on the screen even after the large crowd has long gone and AC is now properly cooling the house.

Kinda random thought about this theory and second waves...

We talk about how pandemics have historically experienced first waves in the beginning of the year (winter, early spring), died down during late spring through early fall, and then come back with a bigger second wave in late fall and winter. IINM, all previous pandemics occur before the advent (or at least widespread use) of air conditioning. Meaning that from when the weather warmed up, people were either outside or had their windows open to maximize airflow. Once the cold came back, they went back indoors and the spread spiked. What we're seeing in the US, particularly in the south, is the air conditioning effect.

No sources, just random thoughts inside my head.

Possible. As mentioned elsewhere, this isn't really a second wave, it's really the first wave in different locations that didn't have a real wave yet.

I've said that as well. My theory is that we won't see the traditional waves that we've seen from previous pandemics, because we live differently than we did back then.
