We've all been repeatedly told that the reason that the Chicom coronavirus is spiking in places like Florida is due to their having opened up too soon.
Case closed, right?
Well maybe not so much.
In an interview with Dr. Howard Bauchner, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Dr. Robert Redfield made it clear that he thinks that other forces were in play that are responsible.
Did you catch that?
Redfield said that the reason we're seeing a jump in the number of infections in the South is not due to irresponsibility or bad governance in states like Florida, Alabama or Texas, but rather because Northerners fled their homes and took it with them causing it to spread.
The "we are of the view" indicates that he is not just expressing his own personal view but that of the CDC itself. It is the CDC that thinks the spike is not the result of these states opening back up too soon, or because the people there were careless and not practicing social distancing and the like, but because a bunch of Northerners[1] that already had the disease went south for vacation and brought it with them.
Again, this is from the Centers for disease Control -- a place not exactly known for being a hotbed for trump supporters.

If you look at the south, everything happened around June 12th to June 16th. It all simultaneously kind of popped. We’re of the view that there was something else that was the driver. Maybe the Memorial Day, not weekend but the Memorial Day week, where a lot of Northerners decided to go south for vacation.
