9 days ago, some out of state Tea Party billionaires staged a mass gathering (astroturf) to protest Indiana's lockdown. Today, Indiana reports the second highest number of COVID-19 deaths in the nation, after New York (which has 5 times as many people), and twice as many COVID-19 positive test results as usual. Hmmm..... The morgues are opening up to let the Eric Holcomb "Fan Club" in, it seems. Of course, I said this would happen and I did manage to get ahold of someone at Facebook to prevent them from scheduling any more gatherings on here at least, but it was way too late. Of course the news in Indianapolis went and pointed cameras and estimated 3,000 of them were there, not wearing masks, standing 2-3 feet from each other. So it appears that much of the damage was already done. Now there are flare ups in several of the most conservative counties in Indiana, including Hamilton.
