Deaths are a lagging indicator. New cases are a better indicator. The U.P. has lately been averaging about one new case a day. For those not in the know the U.P. is quite large. In fact, the Upper Peninsula is bigger than Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Delaware combined. However, for me that is still to many to consider going back yet. To make matters worse the Green Bay area is getting hit real hard right now and folks from Green Bay often come up north. If the casinos would limit their access to U.P. locals only then I would consider it. However, it doesn't look like any casinos are going to be opening soon anyway.
