[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please cite that protests led to a covid spike. [/quote]

Just wait. The Southern spike didn't happen overnight. It's all about seeding. The South reopened when their cases were very, very low. The north is reopening now because our cases have dropped to very low numbers, basically the same place TX and FL was 4-6 weeks ago Give it time. [/quote]

The south never took it seriously. It’s not going to explode like that if people continue to engage in risk mitigation [/quote]

Do you have a cite for that?  Other than what you see on Facebook?  Because I live in the South and my town shut down before NYC did. We were quarantined for 3 months, just like everyone else.  I can tell you that my friends in the DC area posted more "going out" photos than did my friends down here, and are now posting pictures of their teens on the beach in Maryland with a big group of friends with their arms around each other.  So, based on my evidence, I would say that DC never took it "seriously."  Which is backed up by the # of cases and deaths, by the way.  [/quote]

You experience with a few friends don’t say much.  I live in DC and it was a ghost town during the long shutdown.  People here took it seriously. Everyone is wearing masks.  But if you want facts, see link below on who is doing well and who is not currently.  DMV doing great now, 2 weeks ago and 1 month ago.  Consistent pattern.  Many southern states and AZ now and the same time period, not so.

DC has the 5th most total cases per capita in the country, with 14,520 cases per million.  Texas, even with the recent spike, has 5,178.  But, yeah, DC is doing great.

Maryland has 11,045 cases per million.

The numbers for DC are understated, because DC had a test positivity rate of over 30% at one point.  DC has a cumulative mortality rate of 5.37% (vs. Texas’ 1.6%), which means DC testing missed a lot of cases.

DC has a 1.01 growth rate, Maryland has 1.02 and Texas has 1.03.  Not a huge difference.
