If this disease is less virulent in the summer months, and just the act of being outdoors will promote that to some extent, then we many see that large reemergence in the Fall that has been predicted. People who don't agree with the CDC guidance, and there are huge numbers in that camp, are not going to go for Shutdown 2.0 no matter the need. This can get really ugly by October, and ultimately affect the election.
There are way too many moving parts to this story.
I agree there are lots of moving parts, but the key is that if you don’t take the isolation seriously, R stays higher than one. That means exponential growth. That to me means something must give, and likely long before October.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
