How could that possibly have happened? Food needs to be planted, harvested(in many situations primarily by migratory workers from other countries) and delivered, power needs to be kept up, necessary medical supplies needs manufactoring, water needs to be cleaned and delivered. There's no scenario where the world gets to collectively take a break

Right, but the world could have refrained from partying on the beaches [1]

Did beaches make a difference? They did that in Florida during spring break in March, but Florida has low cases until just recently.
Weren't the spring breakers mostly from out of state?
They could have also refrained from protesting and rioting over a demonstrably false narrative of death-by-police.
And beer must be drank "Bar lives matters", as Austin Texas bar owner said.
