You're kidding, right? I just popped over to Worldometers to check out their numbers, and Sweden's deaths per million number is significantly higher than ours. And that's not even counting the seriously ill.
Wow, guess the protesters, looters, and rioters in America just don't give a damn.
Imagine that, people looting for a TV and marching for a convict instead of staying at home.
Looks like many GOP states are just going to choose to ignore much of the spike in COVID-19 in hopes that as President Trump on the virus "like a miracle, it will go away".
Arizona, Texas and Florida seem to be doing everything they can to be in the COVID-19 position NYC was in April.
Many GOP states have handled this pandemic terribly with the exception of Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota, North Dakota. They had their cases in all three states but overall they did better than a vast majority of states on this and had reasonable restrictions while keeping their economies intact.
It seems like where the summer is hottest is optimal for COVID-19 because the people are inside in communal environments with central air conditioning.
Arizona I think is going to have a very, very rough summer. The people who manage the state just walk in a room and brag about how much hospital capacity there is.
I do think the hyper-indivdualistic culture of Florida, Arizona, Texas plays a role in the cases skyrocketing. The everyone for themselves culture of the three states doesn't really work out for them well in the midst of a massive pandemic.
Arizona, Florida, Texas have alot of people living in very, very crowded multi-generational household in urban areas going to crowded stores to keep the electric bills down during peak hours.
Arizona, Texas, and Florida may have a relative spike in cases compared to the past but they are NOTHING close to where New York was in April. In fact all three states are well below the U.S. average deaths per capita. My guess is the relative spike in cases may be due to the summer weather being so hot that people are going to air conditioned malls and movie theaters that have all opened up without restrictions rather than spending time outdoors like as they are in Northern and Mountain states. I also think our understanding of how to treat Covid as well as more mask usage and the ability to test upon demand will prevent either one of those current "hot spots" from spiraling out of control as Italy and New York did.

Ok but Arizona hasn't had many theaters open yet. Where I live the theaters are exclusively AMC and Harkins. Neither chain reopened. The majority of open theaters are drive in.
