Side thought- I assumed the virus would weaken in the summer and come back in the fall winter. It didn't weaken in summer - its in the south in the middle of the summer. So why do we expect a second (or third) wave to occur in the fall / winter when it can occur now? Perhaps the virus can live longer in colder temps and the risk is just higher. Just an observation.

I was thinking about this, but consider this.

1) The South and West are generally nice in the Spring, while the Northeast is cold

2) The Northeast is nice in the summer, while the South and West are too hot

So, where the weather is nicer, more people our outside, so they don't spread it as much. BTW, I claim no expertise on this, but just going with my own side thought on a side thought.
