“…Similarly, an enormous amount of scientific literature has provided strong evidence that climate factors such as high air temperature or exposure to air pollution lead to an increase of lethality rates (Lin et al, 2020a,b; Ahmadi et al, 2020; Bashir et al, 2020; Riccò et al, 2020; Sobral et al, 2020). This has been explained by the contribution of air pollution to respiratory tract infections, pulmonary disease, or diabetes burden (Lubrano et al, 2020; Ma et al, 2020; Xu et al, 2020). Mexico, with vastly different climates among its states and municipalities, has presented differentiated effects on COVID-19 confirmed cases (Méndez-Arriaga, 2020).…”
