You're putting words into my mouth. There's a goddamn reason those places are in lockdown. 1000+ covid cases, while small in comparison to other countries, is the highest a state has ever had here. Lockdown has kept numbers down in the past. If state governments didn't constantly lockdown and then come of out lockdown and instead stayed locked down for longer cases would have remained in the 100s. But people are morons and they want to do whatever it is they do and pretend that people aren't dying from this goddamn disease.
