Sadly, this (Green Bay area) is happening all over the country. Areas where people were smugly claiming "immunity" to the virus, with few or no deaths and not many cases, are now suffering the consequences of their casual approach to remaining safe. And, the very predictable result is the new crisis we're seeing at the moment. As usual, people want to politicize this (we politicize everything these days, don't we?), starting with the president, and so we are in the horrible situation that we are at the moment. There is (was) only one correct way to handle this, and, sadly, our country fucked it up and continues to do so.
A couple of night's ago, my community -- my very own backyard town -- made the NATIONAL news, as a group of 20-something consummate assholes held a series of parties, with a known infected individual attendee. The inevitable result was a "cluster" of the disease in our area. The tracers went to the host's house and asked for the names and contacts of all the imbeciles involved. And the shit-for-brains replied, "I'm not furnishing any information at all." Result: Threat of $2,000-a-day fines and subpoenas to all involved. Oh yes. And instant compliance the next day.
This virus knows no age boundaries, no political parties, and surely no intelligence requirements. It is an equal-opportunity afflicter. And unless and until the myriad mental hernias in this country wake up and smell the COVID, thousands more are going to die.
