The American population is without question suffering from fatigue. The stress of this ongoing pandemic has resulted in many Americans making the decision to return to normalcy as restrictions are easing in most states. In Kentucky as of early June, less than half of grocery and retail store patrons are complying with wearing face coverings in public. Retail outlets requiring face coverings are enduring some public resistance. Meanwhile, restaurants are allowed to reopen for in person dining and serve up to one‐third capacity and many houses of worship have been open for weeks. Furthermore, private gatherings for graduations, weddings, and holidays have become more common. Summer vacations and other settings with more lax restrictions have important implications for community‐level infection curves. Some Americans have also chosen to engage in rallies and social activism, which involves large crowd gatherings and travel between major cities. These expressions of fatigue coupled with re‐opening of economies are concerning as COVID‐19 case counts and hospitalizations have fallen mainly in heavily impacted settings like New York. https://abc7ny.com/health/coronavirus‐updates‐ny‐covid‐hospitalizations‐deaths‐continue‐drop/6248076/. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/06/09/coronavirus‐live‐updates‐us/.
