It sure appears crowded bars are the main problem not protestors. I didn't like the protests in the middle of a pandemic but if that were true you would expect NYC, Chicago to be hots spots.

That's because so many people have left NYC and those left - over 20% - probably more - already had Covid and didn't even know it until the tested for the antibodies. Deaths continue to be down - that's a good thing - quit focusing on test results which have been mixed with antibody results. I have plenty of family and friends in Florida - they are wearing their masks and going on about their lives - they are not afraid of catching it and they are all 60+ yrs.

Unfortunately, masks are optional in Florida and there are a lot of anti-maskers spreading the virus in Florida because the Governor of Florida refuses to mandate masks. This is negatively impacting Florida's economy.

TX stopped doing that just before Memorial Day. Back then , that mixing was actually making the positive test rate LOWER. More than 8500 cases today. Next.
Houston Mayor pleades with Texas GOP - please don't bring your 6,000 delegate convention to our city next week. Sets out rules for lessening the spread of COVID if they insist on coming.
Yet welcomed the tens of thousands that came for Floyd's funeral.
He needs to stop with the blatant partisan hypocrisy.
