Good morning, NBC News readers.
As the U.S. death toll from COVID-19 inches closer to 100,000, Americans got their first sense of this summer's new coronavirus norm.
Here's what we're watching this Tuesday morning.
Memorial Day weekend tests limits of social distancing summer People across the country attempted to kick off summer over Memorial Day weekend as beaches, parks and bars began to reopen while following social distancing guidelines with varying degrees of success.
While some were just happy to get a bit of fresh air after being cooped up for months, others flouted the social distancing rules put in place in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus.
After images emerged of a jam packed pool party in the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, local health officials issued a travel advisory and called on revelers to self-quarantine.
"This reckless behavior endangers countless people and risks setting us back substantially from the progress we have made in slowing the spread of COVID-19," Dr. Sam Page, the county executive, said in a statement.
The World Health Organization also warned of a "second peak" of infections in countries where COVID-19 is declining if measures put in place to halt the outbreak are let up too quickly.
"The disease can jump up at any time," WHO emergencies head Dr. Mike Ryan said Monday. "We may get a second peak in this wave."
Here are some other developments:
The one-two punch: A doctor embraces plasma and the unknown to save his patient Doctors told Ron Panzok's family to prepare for his death. They refused.
"He was not ever the kind of person who would give up. So we were never going to give up on him, ever," his daughter Amy Harel said.
Panzok's doctor was grasping for solutions to save his life. He remained in a coma being kept alive by a ventilator.
Then Dr. Hugh Cassiere recalled an article he read in a medical journal a month before he started treating coronavirus patients that led him to a "one-two punch" treatment plan.

Joe Biden, wearing a mask, makes first public appearance since March Joe Biden appeared in public Monday for the first time in more than two months, laying a wreath to honor veterans at a Delaware war memorial.
The last time Biden was seen publicly outside his home was on March 15, at the final Democratic primary debate against Bernie Sanders at CNN's studios in Washington. President Trump also marked the day commemorating U.S. war dead, including a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
He also spoke at a Memorial Day ceremony at Fort McHenry in Baltimore and thanked military members who are assisting Americans through the crisis.
In contrast to Biden, the president did not wear a mask at either event. Biden was joined by his wife, Jill, at the Delaware war memorial on Monday. In brief remarks to reporters, he urged Americans to "never forget the sacrifices these men and women made. Never, ever, ever." (Photo: Patrick Semansky / AP)
White woman calls NYPD after black man asks her to put dog on leash, sparking outrage online A video showing a white woman calling New York City police alleging that a black man was threatening her in Central Park after he asked her to put her dog on a leash has gone viral.
Christian Cooper told WNBC that he was bird watching in the park on Monday when he noticed a dog running free. He approached the woman walking the dog to ask that she put it back on a leash as regulated.
The woman refused and Cooper filmed the interaction as she repeatedly told the police "an African American man" was threatening her and the pet.
The video, which had been viewed more than 16 million times by early Tuesday, has sparked outrage.

One fun thing Extremely rare snow leopards have been caught on camera at a popular hiking location near Kazakhstan's biggest city.
