That could be. Alabama has had some weird hotspots. We can explain most of them.
Mobile was hit hard, mostly from New Orleans folks.
Chambers, Lee and Tallapoosa counties were hit hard. That’s just to the East of me. Lee includes Auburn University (where I used to teach). Many, many Chinese students and a few professors. I think they infected enough people to spread it to the other two VERY rural counties.
Tallapoosa county is at 109.3 cases per 100,000 people, the state’s largest percentage. It’s only 40K people in total, but has a lot of expensive lake houses on Lake Martin, a huge TVA dam lake. So I’m sure that’s why. MF’ers tried to hide out at their second homes and infected the locals.
There’s a handful of very rural black counties that also have a large percentage. These counties have less than 10,000 folks, but a lot are poor rural blacks, many elderly with very poor health, sadly. The main hotspots there are the (usually) single old folk’s home in the county. Really bad. I told my son the other day, don’t send me to a home when I get too old. Just take me for a walk in the woods, and bring my loaded 1911...
The state got half a million new test kits at the end of April. These are now being deployed and I think that led to the second wave increase. We just didn’t know before.
I have been trying to verify whether or not testing will show a person positive for covid19 if they have had a flu shot or not and I can’t get it done.
Looks like testing is far more complicated that we knew....
