"dozens of Covid hot spots," most of them from 44 counties in 12 surrounding states. And of course that's where they dispersed to. There's some hope for less than superspreader effect because the arena was so sparsely attended, allowing people to not cram in who didn't choose to.

The Juneteenth event was outside and more of its mostly young attendees wore masks.

My husband and I "self isolated" on a drive to the Gulf coast today, through a couple of mostly retiree, fishing, tourist villages, fishing and reading at quiet spots on the way. I was at least hoping that we'd be able to have seafood outside for lunch, or if that didn't seem wise order takeout for a picnic. Even that wasn't wise, as it turned out. Just too many people out, mostly affluent middle age, and the places we like much too congested for us to be willing to go in even to pick up an order. Most weren't wearing masks, not even pulled down when outside, as they strolled the shops and restaurants. Poor townspeople.

We saw the last of the decorated boats that had put on a "Trumptilla" come back in, no particular support for their message among those on shore that we saw.
