Sorry... not sorry. Clearwater Beach and dozens of other popular hot-spots in Florida have been flooded to capacity with visitors and party goers since May 4th (phase 1). The virus starts to manifest symptoms in a few days. No second wave has appeared. It has been weeks.
Several restaurants had 30 minute waits minimum. Some lines a hundred feet or more long to get in. Guess what, not a one of the people waiting in line wore a mask and weren’t socially distant. Streets were flooded with walkers. The mile long bridges between Tampa / Clearwater where filled to capacity with thousands of cars and party goers.
The key period will be about 3 weeks from opening. Most people who are going to get sick, start to notice symptoms in about a week. And it takes another couple weeks, maybe a bit more, for them to feel sick enough to go to a hospital.
Also, in areas which are currently low infection, it takes a while to build up and spread. Look back at the new stories and counts in mid-March forward.
