Yesterday there were dozens of Trump supporters protesting along a major traffic artery here in Kenosha, one that runs directly in front of our largest hospital; a hospital once again filled to bursting with Covid-19 admissions.
They were protesting all covid-19 mandates.

They do not want them anywhere in public, and, it seems, especially not schools.
No masks.
No social distancing.
No vaccine requirements.
I know a nurse who works in that building who battled Covid and who lost her own mother to the virus.
This was a shameful display.

The cognitive dissonance is profound and is a danger to all of us.

And now we have this and it's going to get worse before it gets better and this did not need to happen again.

It's a preposterous notion.
And yet here we are, again.

From new cases to hospitalizations to deaths the numbers are striking and the visuals provided by a few simple graphs should startle everyone.

And so I stand here once again shaking my head in dismay.
I will never understand any of this.
Ever.
Not ever.
