COVID-19 Phase 2 | Opening up comes with consequences; Investment outlooks

Opening up society after quarantine without following distancing and sanitation protocols results in explosion of new COVID-19 cases.

In early July, Florida opened up their beaches for Memorial Day as well as popular tourist attractions such as Disney World. An explosion in subsequent COVID cases can be blamed on the insufficient sanitation and social distancing at these locations and events.

The only real positive coming from this story is that states such as New York do seem to have their protocols in place, showing no real increase in cases since re-opening.

However, in the situation in Florida, opening up indiscriminately for tourism has been a costly and deadly experiment. This type of outcome was unfortunately forecasted as a very real possibility in our blog post from 6 weeks ago.
