I'd say it certainly played a part somewhat.

A lot of spikes didn't happen till places started opening back up and people started traveling and going on vacations and then bringing it back. I don't doubt that indoors/outdoors is a big factor though in transmission.

My guess is Covid is basically over -- bulab 08/13/2020 12:40PM

Correct - Only took 100K+ excess deaths that there may be herd immunity -- armyhokie88 08/13/2020 6:38PM

Heard on TV today that the "mother of all virus rebounds" coming this fall. -- MikeVT85 08/13/2020 5:49PM

Thanks bulab - you've been a voice of reason through all this ** -- Technocrat 08/13/2020 5:20PM

It'll spread through the air conditioning -- lchoro 08/13/2020 4:23PM

Legionnaires’ disease? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/13/2020 5:15PM

That's what New Zealand thought.... -- UTPr0sim 08/13/2020 4:16PM

New Zealand never had the wave -- they'll get one now -- bulab 08/13/2020 4:24PM

In the past 7 days the US has had 8,793 deaths noted as Covid related -- HokieAl 08/13/2020 2:07PM

None of that actually contradicts what bulab saud -- Beerman 08/13/2020 4:43PM

Not all occured over past 7 days. Legacy deaths being logged. ** -- ColoVT82 08/13/2020 2:44PM

Right but that means that some deaths this week are NOT being counted yet -- SteveInBaltimore 08/13/2020 4:04PM

I'm getting my data from the same people that log the flu deaths. ** -- HokieAl 08/13/2020 3:15PM

What he said- the Washington Post has been conflating the numbers -- WestEndHokie39 08/13/2020 3:05PM

We're currently living with multiple Corona viruses, so C-19 will just join -- EDGEMAN 08/13/2020 2:31PM

The flu is not "a form of coronavirus". ** -- vthokieq 08/13/2020 2:14PM

You're right. I'm mixing up past research on that. Thanks ** -- HokieAl 08/13/2020 2:41PM

It's in the biome now...just floating out there with the rest of the bugs. ** -- Major Kong 08/13/2020 1:28PM

Inshallah ** -- typed by ben 08/13/2020 1:09PM

This will play itself out in the next few months.... -- vthokieq 08/13/2020 1:08PM

Smooth, Will... ** -- BobG 08/13/2020 1:57PM

I'm not sure the lockdown had anything to do with the delay in waves -- bulab 08/13/2020 1:30PM

Shutting down early seems to align more with later spikes than weather -- Vienna_Hokie 08/13/2020 2:48PM

I'd say it certainly played a part somewhat. -- vthokieq 08/13/2020 1:39PM

I am cautiously optimistic that places like NY, FL, AZ, etc will not see -- hokiemas 08/13/2020 1:20PM

I hope the draw downs you note are due to effect of tcell xresistance and -- ColoVT82 08/13/2020 2:50PM

What? Good common sense on the Lounge? 2020 is crazy. ** -- RTFC 08/13/2020 1:42PM

Agreed- nice summary... ** -- WestEndHokie39 08/13/2020 1:29PM

Agree ** -- vthokieq 08/13/2020 1:22PM

If it is it will still -- YardBird 08/13/2020 1:00PM

Sounds like the XYZ hypothesis somewhat. Basically, the video below -- hokiemas 08/13/2020 12:58PM

I think you'll still see cases of C-19 for the next year. -- EDGEMAN 08/13/2020 1:49PM

It makes me think “everywhere” needs to get hit with a wave and then its -- BG Hokie 08/13/2020 6:02PM
