Outside the cities, low vax rate, three week lockdown early last Spring, ditched the masks late last Spring and some of us never wore them as there was no mandate, kids back at school last Fall, no masks, no distancing. Our big hump from the first round was last Winter even though our lockdown was early Spring when covid hadn't even made it here yet. That was our Gov Parson being a follower. (The coasts are locking down. I guess we should too.) When the kids went back to school last Fall is when we hit our first high. Of course a lot of that was probably the flu since the PCR test can't differentiate and evidently neither can the doctors. The whole thing has shown how incompetent the field of medicine is from top to bottom. I have about as much reverence for a plumber as I do for a doctor now, maybe more for the plumber.
