Our highest numbers for cases, deaths, and cases/10,000 population are in Mecklenburg County. Their numbers are almost double the numbers in Wake County, where Raleigh (the capital city) is located. Population of about 1.1 million for each county.

For the Republicans stupid enough to attend, expect to see a spike in Covid numbers for the communities where they live once they go home. Dummies. Real dummies. But, we already knew they were stupid. Right?
