hot states during Spring and Summer. Stay at Home orders have people largely not encountering a lot of group contact. With reopening, people start going back to offices, manufacturing plants, shops, stores regularly, and they are in those places while AC is running. I believe that last set of conditions will start to cause covid19 infections to explode in hotter southern states. I would hope that all states would be wise enough to issue mandatory mask wearing orders and fine or jail any yahoo that resist that commonsense, but I seriously don't expect to see that in states led by the likes of DeSantis, Abbott, the Georgia governor, the Oklahoma governor, ect, so I anticipate that most of the dying from covid19 will shift to those places, and those numbers are going to be grievously large.
