Wyandotte has been plagued by cases from retirement centers while Ford County has been hit with cases from meat packing plants. It really underscores that the actual number of cases is not nearly as important as what demographics make up your cases.

No one wants to hear that because someone might have something that may or may not wittingly or unwittingly spread to someone who may or may not get sick and then may or may not have to go to the hospital where they may or may not live or die.
Seriously though, people need to be looking at these things. The media among others would have you think that this is an automatic death sentence.
Meanwhile I know doctors and nurses who are out of work and some even on unemployment.
