The data shown are specific to the four studied coronaviruses, and may or may not generalize to Covid-19. The possibility of seasonality of Covid-19 is being discussed; here we show clinical 5 microbiology laboratory data illustrating seasonality of coronaviruses 229E, HKU1, NL63 and 6 OC43. The data shown are specific to the four studied coronaviruses, and may or may not 7 generalize to There is speculation about the possible seasonality of Covid-19; while multi-year data are 9 not available for this coronavirus, United States Food and Drug Administration approved/cleared 10 multiplex respiratory panels have been available for testing for coronaviruses 229E, HKU1, 11 NL63 and OC43 for almost a decade. 1 Our group has described the use of high-volume clinical 12 microbiology laboratory data to visualize seasonality of infectious agents, including Bordetella 13 pertussis, 2 and Legionella species. 3 Here, data collected from results of the BIOFIRE ® 14 Syndromic panel-based testing 70 in clinical microbiology Eight-year 72 review of Bordetella pertussis testing reveals seasonal pattern in the United States Eight years 75 of clinical Legionella PCR testing illustrates a seasonal pattern Potential impact of seasonal 78 forcing on a SARS-CoV-2 pandemic Diversity and evolutionary histories of human 80 coronaviruses NL63 and 229E associated with acute upper respiratory tract symptoms in 81 Human coronavirus infections in Israel: epidemiology, clinical symptoms and summer 84 seasonality of HCoV-HKU1.
