The current surge in coronavirus cases across the American South may have been caused by Northerners who traveled South for vacation around Memorial Day, said Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you look at the South, everything happened around June 12 to June 16. It all simultaneously kind of popped, he said in an interview Tuesday with Dr. Howard Bauchner of The Journal of the American Medical Association. Independent of state reopening plans, were of the view that there was something else that was the driver. Maybe the Memorial Day, not weekend, but the Memorial Day week, where a lot of Northerners decided to go South for vacations. Because the South hadnt yet experienced large outbreaks like the Northeast, many Southern states and cities reopened bars and gyms early and didnt require people to wear masks or to practice social distancing that seriously, Redfield said. Once the virus was introduced in those areas, that could have allowed it to spread quickly.

Yeah, let's blame northerners for our obese, unhealthy, and ignorant population. This of course does not count Florida, which has it's own weird problems.

That makes 0 sense. Where are all the major outbreaks in the north then? Also funny how Trump kept saying it would just disappear in the summer heat and here we are

The south leads the country in obesity. It is also the worst in education.

I mean yes, part of the reason this is spreading in areas like Florida is because of tourism and Florida is a tourism heavy economy and they chose not to shut down

maybe that would explain florida, but how do you explain arizona and texas and others? those arent exactly vacation hot spots. its just young people being arrogant and ignoring simple guidelines, the majority of hospital patients are in fact young people.

Texas has two major airports in Dallas and Houston. Arizona might have one in Phoenix. So people are traveling to those states.
