Is Arizona still “open?”

Pima County (Tucson) has a mask ordinance in place thanks to the Mayor. But the Sheriff will not enforce it. Tucson has its own police department.

I don't see how a mask ordinance can be enforced in practical terms.

The two police we passed yesterday weren't wearing one, I can't see how they generally would actually cite a person for it.  Seriously.

And the OUT around here is that you can EITHER socially distance OR wear a mask.  Who has a 6 foot measuring stick?

The mayor here was speaking last week without a mask into a microphone and two days later tested positive.  I realize it's tough to speak with a mask, but she wasn't setting an example.

so, masks and social distancing aren't going to fix this

I'm guessing this won't get fixed

I can't see a likely positive outcome at this point.  We may as well have bulled through it in March, maybe, though at least now we know a bit more about "it" and treatment options are better.

I think the main issue now is what a second wave looks like, off there is one. New York was hit hard and is doing well now - paying close attention to them when the weather turns colder and flu season hits.

I see no reason to think there will be some weather related second wave.  No doubt the flu season will be a "wave".  The rise in cases once a place reopens is a continuation of the first wave that was "mitigated".  I suppose it's semantics though.

Some thought this would be seasonal, and I think it clearly is not impacted by normal seasonality.  Weather can of course impact how humans interact.

I "think" influenza is seasonal in part because dry nasal passages are more susceptible to that virus, same with colds.  That is one theory anyway.

COVID does not appear to share that trait, I think.

Maybe this, maybe that.

Well, maybe. Though respiratory illnesses tend to be seasonal. Flu, colds, probably this too. If it isn't and there is a steady decline, that would be awesome. But I don't see many experts optimistic about that.

I see no evidence this is seasonal.

We're into summer heat here, and yesterday's new case count was nearly 4,500, up from about 2,800, in one day.  We're blowing well past any previous counts.  

Florida is spiking, Arizona, Texas, obviously ....

It COULD be seasonal, of course, which means come Fall it will be much worse than NOW?????
