Happy Memorial Day!
Tuesday, May 26, 2020
On Memorial Day yesterday, people flocked to newly reopened beaches and parks, many not wearing masks or social distancing. Officials warned that it was not safe to go unprotected yet and that new spikes in COVID cases could occur. Even government Memorial Day activities were affected. For instance, the honorary burials had far fewer troops in attendance, and the flag was not directly handed off to the nearest kin. Also, some countries have reopened their schools. They have introduced new safety measures such as mandatory masks, distancing, and splitting classes into smaller groups. Despite such efforts, France’s schools have closed again after 12 confirmed cases of coronavirus. In Michigan, the crisis has deepened, with two dams overflowing and sending hundreds of thousands fleeing their homes.
