https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/co...-state-reopenings/ar-BB16JuHU?li=BBnb7KzThe current surge in coronavirus cases across the U.S. 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. Robert R. Redfield wearing a suit and tie: CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield testifies during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., June 30, 2020. © Provided by CNBC CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield testifies during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., June 30, 2020. "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 The Journal of the American Medical Association's Dr. Howard Bauchner. Independent of state reopening plans, "we're 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 hadn't yet experienced large outbreaks like the northeast, many Southern states and cities reopened bars and gyms early and didn't require people to wear masks wearing 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. "Something happened in mid-June that we're now confronting right now," he added. "And it's not as simple as just saying it was related to timing of reopening or not reopening." The comment by Redfield appears to contradict remarks by White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said in an interview Monday that the United States is seeing a surge in new Covid-19 infections because the country never shut down entirely. Early in the outbreak, U.S. coronavirus cases peaked at around 30,000 new cases a day before falling and plateauing at roughly 20,000 new cases per day in mid-may, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. As some states began to reopen in late April through June, new cases began to surge, Fauci told Stanford Medicine Dean Dr. Lloyd Minor during an interview. The U.S. is now averaging roughly 60,000 new cases a day, according to a seven-day average of cases tracked by University. "We did not shut down entirely," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said. "We need to draw back a few yards and say, 'OK, we can't stay shut down forever.' ...You've got to shut down but then you've got to gradually open."

This makes no sense Why would a Northerner head South in July? From what I remember on hot humid day standing outside for 30 minutes equal "shower with sweat".

Yeah, I remember that very well, I got stuck in Houston for 3 days in mid-August 1959. This was before air conditioning was common there. Thought I was gonna die. Got off the airplane at Tan Son Nhut a few years later, wished I was back in Houston. A few TDY's to Florida later on , same thing, take a shower and be all sweated up again before you can get toweled off. Plus, it always stunk of paper mills.

More Lieberal Bull Chit... June 12th to 16th was the 14 to 17 day Covid incubation period after the George Floyd protests and riots started. Nothing but Lieberal diversion away from the real cause. "Look, squirrel !"

It's not so much the one-way travelers. We have been declared "red". We get tourists who are welcomed (for the money) and retirees who travel back and forth to see their families.
I suspect it's the same in Florida.

Yankees come down here year around for nice beaches and theme parks. BTWSlavek, we do have air conditioning here.

Last weekend the Strip was jumping w/ caliturons fleeing a shut down state. It was 111* F. Those goons will spend $1000.00 for a poolside cabana at a resort and another grand on bottle service. So much for a crashed economy. Tourism rocks!
