We now have a big unplanned experiment. We will see within the next few days if the protests lead to significant spikes. Personally, I think that the virus probably doesn't spread that easily outdoors, so while we will see a spike, it will be small enough that it will only make the case for opening up outdoor activities sooner. Fingers crossed.



I'm not sure if this is a big unplanned experiment any more than states already opening up and existing protests for opening up have already been doing.


First we will see if all the memorial day barbecues caused a spike. And all the preemptive reopening orders in different states.
