In fairness:
the biggest part of this is not the mask or vaccine policies, but simply the climate. Southern US gets covid waves during the summer, when people tend to be indoors (too hot); the North gets the waves during the winter.
So... by December, expect a wave in the North.
And Florida will get another wave in 6-8 months, especially if good doctor Fauci manufactures a new version of Covid by then.
But it doesn't.
So strange.
What could be the answer?
