    My county already has multiple outbreaks at middle schools where the kids fill the hallways without masks and crowd together at recess. All the variations of their individual viruses, of their classroom's virus ecosystem, of the building's, and of every home/business they visit just mixing together. Maybe their parents work at the nearby meatpacking plant that had a major outbreak they covered up. They could of course be nurses, one of those middle class professions that still allows home ownership in that area. Maybe they're just renting because their parents are essential workers in any number of fields with close contact being impossible or culturally discouraged.

    On the other hand, if we all stayed home for a whole month then I couldn't go to Applebees and make a poor person risk dying to serve me bad food. Gotta break a million eggs or more to make an omelette.
