5 Things to Look Forward to in May
We need something uplifting in our lives as we launch a new month!
1. Parts of the country will start to reopen as states slowly relax their stay-at-home orders. The hope is that if it’s done with enough planning and care, we won’t see a massive resurgence of the virus.
2. Some big specials are going down this month. There’s “The Call to Unite“, a 24-hour global livestream featuring tons of celebrities starting TONIGHT at 8:00 P.M. Eastern.
And for everyone missing sports right now, NBC is airing a virtual Kentucky Derby tomorrow, featuring all 13 horses ever to win the Triple Crown facing off in a computer-generated race.
