As virus death toll nears 100,000, Americans spend holiday at beaches and parks
(Reuters) - Americans sunbathed on beaches, fished from boats and strolled on boardwalks this holiday weekend, even as the U.S. death toll from COVID-19 fast approaches 100,000.
The Memorial Day weekend that signals the start of the U.S. summer is normally a time when cemeteries across the nation fill with American flags and ceremonies to remember those who died in U.S. wars.
This year it has also become a time to mourn the loss of more than 97,000 people due to the coronavirus pandemic in the United States.
