For 3 months, the US economy was, for all intents and purposes, was closed down and only essential services remained opened... then, in June, many States around the USA reopened and allowed businesses and restaurants and beaches to serve its customers... a small amount of Americans followed the rules maintaining social distancing and wearing face masks; however, a large amount of Americans did not obey the rules and these actions resulted in a rising of the number of people who were contracting this disease. Consequently, many States have HALTED their reopening process over the July 4, 2020 holiday and there is no telling how long this new CLOSING DOWN will last... there is a good possibility that it will last for the entire summer including the months of JULY and AUGUST...
Against the backdrop of the COVID 19 Pandemic, many cities as well as STATES have set about defunding their police departments thinking that less money will force them to be less violent especially towards blacks... it is highly unlikely that less money will correct racism in American, but more important is this PANDEMIC and the number of people that are getting sick and dying...
Since I am 72 and with several health concerns, the least of which is a low immune system, it is important, at least for me, to remain at home as often as I can... only leaving when it is important and not just to go out to dinner or visit the MALLS.
