https://wbhm.org/feature/2020/alabama-covid-19-hospitalizations-hit-record-high/The Alabama Department of Public Health reports 647 people were hospitalized for COVID-19 Wednesday, the most since the pandemic began. There were also 849 new cases, the highest in a single day. That spike concerns University of Alabama at Birmingham healthcare epidemiologist Dr. Rachael Lee. She spoke with WBHMs Andrew Yeager.
Whats behind the increase in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations:
If you look at the timing, it looks like this may be related to Memorial Day. So by Memorial Day we were all completely opened up and we had a lot of fatigue in terms of being under quarantine. And so once the state opened up and loosened a lot the restrictions, we got together, had vacations, restaurants have opened up, bars have opened up. Because of that close connection with other people, being within six feet and potentially not wearing masks that may be driving our numbers and our cases.

Nobody tell us what to do. Even in a pandemic. A hoax means its not real and Trump and Fox News said it was a hoax so?

He should have lead by example and wore a mask, promoted social distancing instead of pushing "business as usual", etc.
The absolute worst leadership in so many ways.
