Does behavior mediate the effect of weather on SARS-CoV-2 transmission? Evidence from cell-phone data

One prevailing hypothesis is that people spend more time indoors in cooler weather, leading to increased spread of SARS-CoV-2 related to time spent in confined spaces and close contact with others.
