Super Spreader Events

The problem of group exposure from SARS-CoV-2  as witnessed in the USA on Memorial Day is that the group varies from a single source LOCATION.

When people travel for recreation to a shore or lake or party destination they are not simply going to the local pool or the neighbor, they are coming from many different places they call home.

Memorial Day seems to be a similar dynamic witnessed in Florida during Spring Break. Florida never had to deal with all the fallout of it's irresponsible policies, states throughout the country did.

The activity of vacationing in areas where there are large numbers of complete strangers intermingling is a "Super Spreader Event."

The point is that state governments, no matter how they try, will continue to see spikes in their cases after Super Spreader Events.
