Most states didn’t meet the federal guidelines of 14 conservative days of decreasing case numbers. Hospitalizations lag behind new cases. And deaths lag behind hospitalizations. The southwest and southeast are both seeing increases in cases greater than the increase in testing. In record numbers. Hospitalizations are on the rise again. Hot spots are seeing shortages of ICU beds again. Arizona has started transferring patients to New Mexico.

All across the south it’s a full blown trend. No need to wait until the end of July to make that decision.

Actually not at all. Here is Texas and other states such as Florida the bug was receding nicely all during May and early June  despite the states opening up on May 1.  Then the Floyd protests hit south Texas real strong at the end of May and early June, with 10's of thousands attending his funeral.  Three weeks later the case load started growing mainly in south Texas but soon spreading north.  Cause and effect?
You decide.  Yet despite this second wave, whatever its origins, the death rate for Texas and Florida is 1/10 that of New York with almost the same overall case load.  I call that learning to manage and better understanding the bug's risks.   After 4 months of dealing with the bug, I think the numbers show progress is being made, certainly in keeping the bug from being a killer.  The NFL will have far tighter daily protocols than society at large and can tightly control numbers of players and how they congregate.  They can practice far more pervasive sanitation than the general public.
