It is the area about 100 miles north of Detroit, I also read that about 1/3 of those showing up to ERs and clinics are positive for the virus.

It is an area I have to travel into weekly. It is also chocked full of deplorables. Mask compliancy is deplorable as well.

Even though I am fully vaccinated, I still mask up when up there.
