Hubby likes to keep an eye on a neighborhood social media thing. We live near a recreational lake and there were posts daily complaining about all the kids partying at their preferred swimming holes. Our weekly newspaper documented several times the sheriff’s office broke those parties up, made arrests for drugs, alcohol and disturbing peace.

A county I used to live in has had a recent rise in cases that supposedly are overwhelmingly teens and younger adults who have been having parties. It is secondhand info, but from reliable people who tend to know what is going on.

The cases local to me have been trending to the lower age group as well, and the deaths in the area have dropped fairly sharply.

You can’t keep young people caged indefinitely. It is astonishing to me how few people seem to have a clue how inhuman it is to be socially isolated.
