You know Susie, I have thought a lot about that and wonder if the virus has been relatively strong is because people aren't outside in the sun and fresh air, they are inside with lots of others in the AC. For it's size Florida hasn't seemed to see a lot of cases. People inside like in schools and large businesses pass on the viruses.
