I must be so proud. My little county just got named a rural hotspot.

Why am i proud? Because we worked for it and we deserve it. I can't tell you where in Michigan my county is. I'll just say it's where Hillsdale College is. You might ask how we worked for it? Well when Governor first announced shelter in place the mayor of that town where the college is said the city council would meet anyhow and he'd bring his gun. One thing my county hates more than anything is truth. Shortly thereafter the Right wing circle jerk blog posted an emergency meeting of rugged individualists who must stand up to the tyranny of the woman Democrat giving them orders. I tried to explain she was trying to keep them safe. That was not well received. I suggested that they might want to listen to the Governor instead of where they were getting their information. That was really poorly received one particularly nasty woman suggested she was a professional health care worker and I knew nothing about Novel Corona virus. I responded, actually niece I do know something about it because I read and understand what I read. Yes it was my own niece who's diapers I changed who said I was being political. Within minutes I was told I wasn't welcome on the site. I asked why I hadn't sworn which is what they told me was forbidden. The reply was I was being nasty.
Anyhow now we are a hotspot with 4 dead. And they still think it's a conspiracy.

I actually was only there because a friend asked me to join. Once there I thought I'd be remiss to not inform. I only hope some of the victims are part of the Rugged individualists who were fighting tyranny of that woman from Michigan. By the way we have 4 dead and our warehouse for used seniors has three staffers and seven patients with it. We are so far behind on the testing I'm willing to bet we're gonna have an explosion any time.

Which means that for each one of them that contracts the virus, they'll infect who-knows-how-many others before they show symptoms.
