Texas starts to shut down again

There’s nothing in that article about contact tracing.

Be careful. It could happen yet. I hope it doesn’t, NYC has suffered a lot.

Why the surge in TX and FL but not NYC?

I don’t know, probably a combination of factors, including opening bars.

How do you know protests were a factor in Texas?

I don’t. I asked which one fit the incubation period better.

I have no doubt reopening was a factor. California didn’t have an aggressive reopening.

Their charts say that it is data from 12:00am - 11:59pm

I saw it at 13:00 local time. It’s not 11:59 pm yet. The news said local officials are attributing most of it to testing.

Health officials in my state do not attribute an increase in hot spots to protesters, but rather to bars and the like. It’s a myth. Probably because they were outside, not in an enclosed space.

If protests were a major factor in this spike, we’d be seeing a more wide spread increase in major cities across the us.

Correct.

Or it’s fear.

If aggressive reopening is a major factor, why California?

Fear of what?

Fear of what?

More riots.

Well that’s a stretch I’ve never expected of you.

Double surprised?

The timing doesn’t fit and doesn’t explain California. I’m just thinking out loud.

Here ya go.

On the beach? Come on! California did not aggressively reopen.

That’s not a good article.
