And indeed, the entire upper Midwest.The Dakotas have been leading the surge since late summer with Iowa not far behind. Wisconsin started its surge a few weeks ago, and new cases are skyrocketing.

On the one hand, that was disturbing. On the other, totally predictable -- and impossible to stop. Most in that group were 18-22 year olds. They are "kids."

Hopefully, none of them got infected.

Different leadership can't hurt.
There were celebration scenes regarding the election all day yesterday that had hundreds or even thousands of people in the streets. Most of those I saw were wearing masks, but some weren't, and none had much social distancing.That was understandable but unfortunate, too. Need to practice what they preach.
