I think it's a lot more complex than folks here who just see a red state and automatically predict how bad a possible outbreak will be because of X
I think saying that people see it as a red state is oversimplifying why they might expect a surge by now.
Things like a sold out rodeo, a huge biker convention, spring break celebrations, baseball games, etc., are the sources of concern.
That they are allowed by the respective states' governments is another, but related, matter.
I don't want to see surges, as that means people's welfare is now in danger, as opposed to potentially endangered.
Not sure I expressed that clearly enough, but close enough.
I do suspect that a lot of people want to see evidence of a surge to say 'I told you so' to the I Told You So party.
