Covid still sux in my area.

Panhandle Public Health District Dashboard

Population: 82,962 (2019)
Last seven days: 250 cases
Case rate: 289.8/100,000
Most cases by age: 20-29, then 30-39
Positivity rate: 13.5%
Fully vaccinated: 39%

The PPHD dashboard once again is separated by counties (the dashboard has whiplash).

Morrill County population: 4,836 (2017)
Last seven days: 24 cases
Case rate: 599/100,000 (highest case rate of the Panhandle plus Grant Co.)
Risk factor: LOL (100/100,000 is “high”)

My wife and I went to the store after the cardiologist yesterday (doc says I’m alive, that’s good to know).

There was a woman telling another (neither wearing masks, the rate in the store was about 20%) that her son had Covid-19 and drank a whole gallon of orange juice the day before. She was there to buy another gallon.

My wife and I put a whole lot of distance between her and us, and got the hell out of there as soon as possible.

I wish people around here would take this more seriously.
