I believe the heat, light and disinfectant story at a White House press briefing was largely lost when President Trump then suggested the doctors and scientists could look into injecting things directly into the body.  

Given the research I would rather be spending a summer day outside in an urban community pool than a night inside at movie theater with A/C.  The forecasts the Fed and the states are using generally anticipate a rather significant decline in cases and death by mid-June with almost no new deaths in July or August.   The warm weather, sunny day scenario is what gets us to the projections of ~150,000 deaths by early August.

And all could be fine if everyone on the planet lived in the Northern Hemisphere and worked outside.   However, a lot of people in our industrialized society spend large portions of their life indoors, and those in the Southern Hemisphere can always bring the virus back to us in September and October as they end their winter months.

I HOPE the USA spends the summer working diligently to build PPE supplies, assemble test kits and train tracing teams.  My fear is that if cases drop in August our government will declare victory and then will not prepare the supply chain or citizens for a surge in October and November cases.
