How summer could determine the pandemic's future

Swelling crowds at parks, beaches and home improvement stores during the traditional start of summer already are showing that many Americans want to venture out and declare the pandemic is over.

But how will we really know when it’s safe to do all the normal things again?

Some states still have stubbornly rising numbers of coronavirus cases, and theaters, camps and sporting events are still largely off the table for now. President Donald Trump is touting the great American reopening, but public health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci are being much more cautious.

What’s certain is the coming few months will say a lot about the state of the country, the public’s psyche and how much death and illness it’s willing to accept. With so much confusing data and contradictory political messaging on the reopening before the November elections, there is a road map to follow this summer to know if the fall will be a time of true recovery or deepening despair.
