The US cases continue to hold at a plateau. There was no obvious spike from Memorial Day but there's some concern that the George Floyd protests might cause one due to the crowds.

Bergen County had a slight uptick and has now passed Hudson County again and has the highest number of cases.

Well, we got our antibody tests and we were both positive. Other than we both did have the virus I'm not sure what that means. I suppose we'll find out more down the road.

The trip to the Suburu dealer went pretty well. They clearly had taken steps. There was a plexiglass screen at the counter. Six feet was marked off both by elastic straps and decals on the floor and everyone was wearing a mask. The waiting room was limited to four people but I just waited outside.

One other thing I noticed is that salesmen didn't get in the car with customers during test drives. Instead they went along in a separate car. So yes, there have been some changes made.
