I agree with you - the real numbers are much higher than is being officially reported.

My sis and BIL are on the Atlantic coast, staying in a condo complex that they've stayed in for a couple weeks every spring. They retired last summer, planned to spend a few months there and then go to Europe. Obviously, plans changed.

They have been virtually alone in this 100 condo complex for the last several months. We Zoom chatted earlier with other family and she forwarded a video of the beach there today.

Packed. Packed with people. Not walking/exercising. Lounging, with umbrellas and coolers. Just like a regular May weekend at the beach.

They will continue to try to hide the numbers but in the next 2 weeks it is going to skyrocket, I fear.
