Much less humidity in AZ although it is easy to succumb to the heat if you don't take precautions. In BC you have a completely different environment where a lot of the heat is attributed to/through humidity. It can be 25C but feel like 35C due to the Humidity. AC is not something people have required in these areas. If they are still under a semi lock down, than they may not be able to seek shelter in shopping malls, etc. I can't imagine what would happen in Toronto if it got this hot, they are still in a nutty lock down type of scenario (16 City wide Infections in a city of 2 million and it remains almost closed) where shopping malls are only allowed 25% capacity. Considering many folks still don't have AC, it could get interesting.

As in reality sets in and whatever policy there may be for Covid will have to go and restrictions removed. It's quite a novel idea to link vaccination percentage with reopening, I'm quite glad that a similar plan is not used where I live. https://www.ontario.ca/page/reopening-ontario https://www.ontario.ca/page/reopening-ontario

  Especially considering that it’s summer too. I’m from Ontario and you see counties with 2 million people delay opening because of 25 daily cases.

    I'm in Texas and it's making the news here. There are international news sites that are already talking about how crazy it is and that no other place in the world has been closed so long under lock downs? It's starting to resemble the Soviet Union or something, you would think the people would tell the Government to go fuck themselves by now.

      It's a mystery to me too. Texas actually seems to have the most reasonable handling of Covid this year, where you open up earlier rather than later. It would be fitting for Biden to admit this statement back in March was plain wrong, maybe even apologize for it: https://www.texastribune.org/2021/03/03/biden-texas-mask-order/ https://www.texastribune.org/2021/03/03/biden-texas-mask-ord...
