The cdc director is pointing to the current cooling temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere and the surge in cases in countries like brazil. What are the concerns here . Well, so cases are growing in south america and in brazil most of all. Its just the most populous nation in south america. So its growing in their winter which implies that theres a seasonal component that grows more during the winter which means if this is the case that it could come back even harder and hit us during our winter which is also our flu season and our cold season.

Your advice to parents as they struggle to decide if theyre going to send their kids to camp this sumer.

Camps are going to have to follow very clear cdc guidance before they open and will screen all their campers and screen all their staff. Theyre going to encourage social distancing and hygiene and theyre going to be doing ongoing monitoring. I would recommend you look at local conditions before you make this decision.
