It's Officially "Indoors Air Season" in the South...
That, coupled with the protests and riots bringing together thousands of unmasked and unprotected people, explains the higher CoVid rates right now in the South, my friends. Warmer temperatures that allow residents in colder states to be outdoors in non-enclosed spaces are indeed helping to lower the CoVid transmission rates.

Virus is running wild in Texas, South Carolina, Florida and California. It’s about to be July. Whatever happened to “the hot weather will destroy the virus”?------------------

Florida cut off drinkers at 10 am today, and Texas is closing its bars too. Smart move. No reason to entice people out to drink and congregate. When drinking, people make mistakes that cost them their lives, and often sadly, the lives of others...

ADDED: Isolated or not, maybe it is time for sports teams owners to seriously consider cancelling their season and losing profits for the year to better protect their players, and all those vulnerables in American society -- the essential workers, the elderly, immuno-compromised people, the African-American populations greatest at risk. We don't need more people to die for our entertainment, really. Sending athletes, en masse, to the Florida CoVid hotspot to isolate seems risky. Surely some will "break quarantine" and then there's the fact that people will likely gather, in crowds, in bars and homes and other enclosed spaces, to watch these games, even if no fans are permitted in person.
Don't the sports owners have a greater responsibility to their fanbase, and to their employees, than to try and resume games when the pandemic is clearly not yet in control? Don't athletes understand better than any of us the risks of poor health, and declining bodies? They really aren't willing to risk a season of no pay, or lesser pay, to endanger their own racial populations chasing a championship, or the Almighty Buck? C'mon fellas, sacrifice already... like the rest of us, to protect others and ourselves.
