I just left Wisconsin where it's starting to get bad. 1 out of 4 people tested are positive. Over 4000 daily cases, a lot in the Green Bay area. Ran out of hospital space so they opened a field hospital at the State Fair grounds in Milwaukee (which is 2 hours from Green Bay but probably easier to find staffing).
I expect the second wave will be way worse there than here in The Villages as people spend more time inside.
I don't quite understand the advocates of herd immunity. Presumably people needing hospitalization will go up significantly. You can only build and staff so many field hospitals.
I'll be visiting a friend with cancer at his house. I feel great but I will wear a mask out of respect for him, even though he won't ask me to. It doesn't cost me anything. Might even cut down on my snacking.
