This is a blue state bug (for now at least)

Looks like it's become a red state bug.

You really bumped this thread from months ago for that?

I’m not the one who bumped it, but if someone was petty enough to start a thread saying that “it’s a blue state bug,” is it any less petty just to bump saying it appears the opposite is now true?

I'm the OP so I figure I can stand to be corrected.

I had hoped the heat and humidity might confer some protection on Southern states.

On the contrary, I think everyone being inside in opened businesses with air-conditioning is making it worse.

good point. I wonder if dwellings with shared ventilation, like hotels and apartments, makes it worse.

+1 I am the frequent Florida poster. We had lowish rates during our winter and spring - but that's when we're all outside. (Even - gasp - at the beach.) Summer is the pit of hell in Florida - everyone heads inside for shelter from the sun and rain, and for air conditioning. I expect that, plus the idiotic plan-less reopening, is contributing to our rates going up here. And probably in other southern states as well.

Hopefully northern states will have their rates go down during the summer when everyone can be outside, anyway.

I am not sure why you would think this. Is it cool and crisp in South American or Central America or Singapore?

West Virginia was among the last states to see its first case and now has one of the highest rates of infection.

Or in India and Bangladesh?

Yes, clearly this is not the flu virus.
