I personally think it has to do with the younger people gathering in bars and other hangouts and on the beaches not socially distancing, much less wearing masks. I assume this is the reason for the new bar mandate which shuts down bars at 11 pm. Before the mask mandate, when I go to Auburn, it seemed to me that young people (college student age) woud be the ones wandiering around, noses stuck to their phones and not social distancing or wearing masks. And they are the fastest growing age group to get sick. This time of year there are a lot of parties and get togethers and I suspect people are not social distancing. It's hard when you have people over to insist they wear masks or stay 6 feet away, because it feels like bad hosting.
