1. I'm in one of these counties. Sparse population, yet cases are exploding.

We now have a higher rate of infection than Chicago.

But still, people not wearing masks, bars and restaurants open without restrictions, school sports proceeding as usual, and Trump signs everywhere.

Lots and lots of Trump signs.
