Wait....I think I found the answer:
On this date (May 7) in 1915: The British ship Lusitania is torpedoed by a German submarine off the Ireland coast; 1,198 people are killed, increasing sentiment in the United States to join World War I.
I think a lot of people remembered that fact and decided to stay indoors and visit VDr in order to avoid any contact with British ships......I would.
Nix is thinking "Why did I even bother?"...
