It's easy, and tempting, to attribute second wave cases to the wages of sin for  those who didn't get the social distancing message. Maybe too tempting.

I absolutely agree.

For instance, I don't think fewer people are wearing masks today, driving this much larger wave, than in July or March. (SCC's largest sample day for positive cases ever is now 397 cases (so far) from Tues. Nov 10 - a rate of 20 daily new cases/10K population; 7 day average is currently 226 (11.3 daily new cases/10K)).
