Fat Tuesday was 5 1/2 weeks ago

Fat Tuesday was 5 1/2 weeks ago and yet I still hear or see on the news that this could be a factor in LA high cases. Am I missing something? Isnt the incubation period 2-14 days?
Also, everyone I know or normally come into contact with has been on some level of social distancing, quarantine, work from home order anywhere from 12 - 23 days ago. How are the number of cases increasing?
Basically cutting each persons interactions from hundreds per week to under a dozen or less easy. Even if half the population has been complying then I dont understand how cases are still on the rise. Not that many people are still going about their daily lives, its simply impossible with all the closings and mandates... What are they not telling us?

Even if you wanted to act as if nothing was wrong and ignored every mandate you could not. No haircuts, no dining in, no athletic events, no bar scene, 6 ft markers everywhere in the grocery store, no movies, majority of people are working from home, etc...

People in Louisiana are a little short on common sense.

The places that are still open are packed. Entire families go there to hang out. I drive to and from the office to pick up mail once or twice per week. Today there was a line of people waiting to get inside Academy, and no one was six feet apart.

Thing is this thing was around before Mardi Gras
And the issue is the people that gathered, and then dispersed, therefore going to wherever their origin is and infecting others, starting a new cycle, and then say you are contagious for 14 days and the 13th day you infect 10 others, well that cycle has restarted and spread exponentially.
Those 10 people now went around infected countless others, starting new cycles with each one, and so on.
