How much of this spike is concentrated in industrial workplaces?
I haven't seen any analysis on where the positive tests and hospitalizations are coming from. My very uneducated guess is they are a result of the relaxation of the stay at home orders, and are not concentrated in any one workplace or location. Though I'd imagine nursing homes are still a problem area.
If my guess is right, I fear we're going to see an even bigger spike in 2-3 weeks given all the activity I witnessed over Memorial Day weekend.

I think it's going to be a combination of a few workplace cases, more people being out and about, and more tests being administered. There MAY be something going on at the Hyundai plant. My brother in law works there, has the symptoms, and got tested yesterday. He says several coworkers have been out but he doesn't know if they were positive or not.
Monday was the first time since this started that I saw rooms in a regular (not a COVID special use area) Montgomery ER marked up with infectious disease warnings on the doors. Both Baptist South and Jackson still had plenty of open beds when we brought patients in, but they did have Covid cases in a place where I hadn't encountered them. I don't know if that was because of spillover or simply that they're more confident in handling cases now but it was interesting.
