Well, both my neighbors had like six cars in their driveways yesterday, local churches told everyone they need to come to church regardless, and last time I drove by Walmart (which was fucking packed) the only person wearing a mask was the guy pushing in buggies.

---

Beaches open, people from all over are sick of being inside all day so they head to places with beaches

Southern states were doing pretty well throughout it all, people from other places that were doing awful saw our numbers and decided to come spend summer down here

People from other places thinking because were good down here that they can come down without masks or anything protecting themselves and others

not to mention South Carolina was pretty much the last state to close and the first to open back up, and we were doing excellent until alllll the other places started opening up

Cause the young people think they shouldn't be jailed in their house for a whole year cause they'd be healthy

Most of the young people I see are wearing masks. Its the ones in their 40s and up that object to wearing a mask. These are also the same people though that think "Trump is doing a great job, I just wish he would get off Twitter."

It's pretty sad people can't make the sacrifice to not attend a beach for 1 time. There always will be next year.

my neighbors just got back from a week long road trip to florida

I've noticed the total opposite

Because our governors kiss Trump's orange ass and didn't take the situation as seriously as they should.

10500 new cases in FL was a headline yesterday.

LMAOOO...where's your source that states that it's everyone else's fault?

So far the second wave has been the worst in California.

Because they haven't had any heat or humidity like the northern and midwest states have.

I see more of this than I do young people. I see so many boomers out with no masks at Walmart or getting gas whereas I see almost every young person wearing a mask (in PA).

This topic is like that town hall in Florida where people got up and spouted all sorts of crazy things.

---

The protests played a part for sure

---

same reasons cases are on the rise in the north? states opening backup, people not wearing mask, protest, increased levels of testing.

Theres like 3 cities around me I would love for you to come spend a few days at. To open your eyes and let you see what the real world is and not just what youve made up in your head.

I saw a list earlier today, top 11 on the rise, only 4 were in the south and I think the top 3 or 4 were not southern states.

its going back to the guy I quoted in this post, people have no idea whats actually going on out in the world

You think those people don't exist? Of course I'm being hyperbolic, but I hear similar stuff all the time. There are plenty of Southerners who act like that.

Because the southern states are full of idiots who want to pretend covid-19 isn't a threat.
