But I'm nowhere near confident of that. And if you bank on it and it doesn't come, then you'll lose those rural communities quickly. They simply won't have the patience to deal with watching their lives crash around them while there's no active problem anywhere near them.

Then come late summer, early fall you'll see the inevitable backlash, they'll get back to 'business as usual' and then if/when it does get there, you'll see the same spread in the same area with the same lack of resources and now you'll have a doubly large problem because respiratory disease season will be inbound to further compound things.

I can see that too.


What a ****ed up mess.
