Is Memorial Day Weekend the experiment that will lead to 4th of July getting shut down?

This weekend many are out and about around the country.
Masks are hit or miss depending on your area.
Incubation is 14 days so two weeks from now if we see giant spikes of infections, and then in the weeks following more deaths, will folks be ready to get serious about this again by 4th of July?

It's FULL SPEED AHEAD now. There's no chance of anything slowing down between now and July 4th.

Is once again hosting tRump Fest with thousands attending again on the 4th! Trump Hotel is already featuring a $4000 mandatory 3day room rate! Let's see how many rich Republicans will want to expose themselves this year.

I'd venture a guess that increases will be seen across the board by the end of this week, and will balloon by mid-June, when hospitals again will be hit with panic and shortages.

My spending has decreased drastically and I will cut it further until I know the results of the November election.

It isn’t my job to resurrect the economy and this is a political and economic war on COVID-45.
