We just don't have the discipline to keep this up much longer and many leaders in our government are giving mixed signals so that people are feeling less and less certain that isolation is necessary.

It looks like people are loosening up on their own to travel more.” Zhang said he anticipates the number of people staying home will continue to drop as some states begin allowing businesses, beaches and other public facilities to reopen. That process began last week in South Carolina and Georgia. Public health experts say any data showing widespread public resolve or cooperation beginning to wane is noteworthy.
