Your above post reminded me of this meme I saw a few days ago and does accurately portray the shared responsibility in why people are thinking it’s all over. Not a valid excuse by any means but at accurate portrayal.

Let me say it: Arizona (and by association that means most states and countries) people are STUUUUUUUUUUPIIIIIIIID! 3 weeks into the Covid Self Isolation's restrictions lifted and folks believe the pandemic is over? 30% increase of positive cases in 3 weeks. Arizona now just under 30,000 TOTAL cases. Hospitals all maxed out in the PCU beds available and working on plans for how to convert other units for Covid care. 27% of new cases when questioned and reviewing show THEY DID NOT WEAR MASKS. All across Phoenix when I am out it seems like more than 1/2 of the public is out in large groups WITHOUT MASKS. Everything has now focused upon the George Floyd death to the point people have totally forgotten that Covid is still here and still killing. Please folks, keep your MASKS ON and BE SAFE! Allow you and your families further protection and stay home as much as you can with only necessary excursions out for groceries. Stop taking your bus load of kids unprotected into stores where the risk is going to be highest. Don't go out to the lakes or rivers where you DO NOT WHO is positive or negative and are more likely to end up being exposed from some idiot who has Covid and either doesn't know it or doesn't care. Far better to err on the side of overprotective than to not protect at all. Like they would always repeat on Hill Street Blues: LET'S BE SAFE OUT THERE... Same here in Texas.
but we don't have a Politics thread. . so won't point out what these States (and Florida, and Georgia) have in common.

Gator's in Arizona and Texas? Possibly in the sewers, but not out and about in the countryside for certain!

Yeah, but Arizona is a dry heat... That just means we Arizonan's cook faster under the sun becoming jerky... And when the temp is up over 110 degrees I don't think it means anything if it is a wet or a dry heat. You either baste, roast, bake, fry or BBQ. There, I said it!

I used to have to go to Bakersfield, CA in the middle of summer back when I worked in the natgas industry. That was never pleasant. Of course, I used to have to go to Houston on a regular basis for the same reason, and I spent many summer weeks in Memphis visiting my grandmother, and the humidity was unholy oppressive. End of the day, I'd prefer the dry heat. At least you can cool off, while the humidity mixed with sweat just makes you feel moist and gross.

End of the day, I'd prefer the dry heat. At least you can cool off, while the humidity mixed with sweat just makes you feel moist and gross. Oh yes, dry is preferable. Spent some summers in Tampa Bay Florida during my youth with my great grandparents and the humidity sucked the air straight out of your lungs. Spent some summer vacation trips in El Paso Texas with friends last 10 years and it too while dry, has a bit more humidity and going everywhere left you sticky and sweaty and damp. In both cases Air-Conditioning had to be on high blast and it felt great if you were right under the duct or not moving. Here I can run my evaporative water filled cooler during the mornings to put some moisture into the air of the house and then switch to Air Conditioning from noon on. During the work week I am not home at all during the day so everything is off (live alone) until I get home and then kick both on and the house is cool in about 15 minutes when I turn off the Evap cooler. The very worst is usually last week of July through August when the temperature and the humidity is highest. Quickly you learn to get your stuff done by 11am and then lounge about doing as little as possible the rest of the day until it cools off (relatively speaking of course) around 9pm. My best reading and DVD watching is in the summer enclosed in my bedroom with the A/C going and the ceiling fan on. Literally how I spend my weekends outside of going to a movie at the theater on Saturday, which that isn't going to be happening too often at the moment (thanks Covid) this year.

My parents are showing signs of cabin fever, snappish and getting on each others' nerves, because we are still observing strict avoiding the virus rules (the U.S. & Canada border is still closed and I am thinking it will be that way a lot longer now). We're lucky I think that we are in a fairly big three story house with a fairly sheltered back yard... I wonder if I got them a tent if either would consider a mini-vacation alone in the back yard? Nah, I think for myself I wouldn't do it because a deer might trample the tent with their hooves or squirrels try and haul me off for winter. I think a genuinely working vaccine if even possible would still be a half year away, but there are now known ways to improve recovery so that's something. I try to remember to do my lung exercises to keep up lung strength and capacity.

It's worse down south. It's not the heat that kills you, it's the humidity

That's one of the nice things about living in the coastal part of the Pacific Northwest - here, when the temperature goes up, the humidity goes down.
