The Hot Spots are still the major population centers of the South.
Deaths are still WAY DOWN versus where they were when the Chinavirus traveling wave passed through the North.

So in the last 7 days there has been a steady increase and we have seen more record numbers in your timeline. Is this because of more testing or the “peaceful protests”? I like to think more testing but woah.
Dis, I’ve got a lot of speculation about nefarious reasons the infection rate may have gone into overdrive in Texas. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the evil ones didn’t use agents to spread their sickness. But hubby and I noted one thing in our rural county that could have really helped a super-spread.
Kids were dismissed from school in March but we really didn’t have too many businesses close, mainly bars and sit-down restaurants. So, kids out of school and a whole lot of parents working. We’ve had a great warm spring. The first 3-4 weeks of quarantine we had a lot of rain but then the temps hit the 90’s. About the time the weather dried up it got HOT! Even more parents returned to work.
Hubby likes to keep an eye on a neighborhood social media thing. We live near a recreational lake and there were posts daily complaining about all the kids partying at their preferred swimming holes. Our weekly newspaper documented several times the sheriff’s office broke those parties up, made arrests for drugs, alcohol and disturbing peace.
This county is about 1000 sq mi with 35k population. If these larger metropolitan counties were seeing the same situation it ~could~ help explain why this wave hit when it did and why I keep reading that it’s a younger demographic that’s infected.
Now, I am by no means saying this is the only factor. And we still only had a hand full of cases here. But if the city kids were taking off to party and/or swim and boat to cool off it would be pretty easy for 1 person to infect a lot of others.
Just a thought.
