“…This editorial discusses the outcomes of a rapid-response preliminary survey during the first phase of the pandemic among social and community contacts in five metropolises heavily affected by the COVID-19 health crisis (Wuhan, Milan, Madrid, New York, and Rio de Janeiro), and in twelve rural areas or countries initially less affected by the pandemic (Appalachia, Jamaica, Bolivia, Romania, Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, Georgia, Turkey, Pakistan, Cambodia, and South Africa).

“…The Santa Ana Winds (SAWs) are episodic pulses of easterly, downslope, offshore flows over the coastal topography of the California Border Region: Southern California and Northern Baja-California (Mexico), occurring mostly from October to April, and are associated with very dry air, often with anomalous warming at low elevations, similar to the Harmattan winds associated with MeM outbreaks in Africa. We hypothesized that the high incidence of MeM in Tijuana is, in part, associated with SAWs. …”
