2 Million before Memorial Day. 4 Million after Memorial DayMemorial Day came. We celebrated. We burst out of our suffocating homes with a damn-the-torpedoes surge, eager to see the places, family and friends we’d been yearning for during those smothering weeks of isolation.
Then we paid the price. Two or so weeks later, after the virus had incubated, cases of Covid-19 spiked, with 4 million more cumulative cases since Memorial Day. The surge ignited an upward trend we’ve been battling ever since.
And the naysayers still abound.The Fourth of July holiday didn’t help – that was another excuse to launch caution to the skies. By then, cities and states were also lifting restrictions. One mistake fed upon another, with tragic consequences.
As of Tuesday, September 1, there were at least 6,073,840 total cases and over 184,664 deaths in the US overall.
IMHO?Will Labor Day be any different?
