After the riots and protests, the bug roared back during mid June to mid July.  There are early signs this outbreak is receding as the death rate is still very low and hospitalization is starting to decline.  If this trend continues its further evidence the bug is manageable. 

By end of July we'll know if the early signs are a full blown trend.  If so the NFL has a road map for safely starting the season.

The rates of infection started to increase after the states began to re-open. 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.
