It doesn't take time to get the virus, you breath in a cloud of virus and you've got it unless you are immune in some way. Symptoms start on average 5-6 days later. People can start spreading virus 2 days before symptoms start. Most people get tested as soon as they get symptoms. I did not look at hospitalizations in OP, just new positive test results. Memorial Day may be part of this, but if that's true then it makes sense that protests are also part of this.
