"Minnesota Surge" a short essay by Karl Jones.
Minnesota
Context: COVID-19 in Minnesota
Ely area had a "surge", now in decline.
Surge via "community transmission"— translation:
We met friends for dinner and drinks at their house (and didn't wear masks).
We went out to a restaurant and we crowded three generations of family around three tables for eight and the grandkids ran back and forth between tables (without masks). (I witnessed this personally.)
We went up the hunting shack and the ice fishing cabin and did a lot of drinking, three generations of us (without masks), and when we got back to town we slept (maskless) with our wives and girlfriends or someone we met along the way.
