If certain illnesses go dormant in the warmer months, how does it ever exist in a hot area in the first place (Arizona, Florida etc)?

I think what you are asking about is why flu season happens during the winter.
It is less about how the virus survives in cold or warmer weather and more about how people behave when its cold out.
People tend to socialize indoors where they are forced to be closer together. Making it easier for the virus to spread.
The difference with covid-19 virus is that we are asking people not to visit each other. So if the virus is in a house, it will only effect the people living in that house, they should not have any visitors to pass it on to the next house. They should also not be going to visit anyone to allow the virus to spread.
