It's just so disturbing what is happening in meat packing plants across the country. And prisons are particularly hit hard, too. According to today's NY Times numbers, a Marion, Ohio correctional facility has had a total of over 2,400 cases. I can understand how such a place would be a breeding ground for virus, but I wonder how hard some of these places have even tried to curb it. The list of prisons, meat packing places, and nursing home clusters cases goes on and on. I even saw that Trenton Psychiatric Hospital in Trenton, NJ (my state's capital) has had 279 total cases. Trenton Psych is not exactly where most want to go. It's usually where people with little money or the longest term severe illnesses go. I know a couple people who've been there.
Poorest people dying from covid 19? Elderly dying in nursing homes and other places from covid 19? Prisoners dying? Psych patients dying? Low income workers dying? And everyone else. There are some people who just don't care. That's scary!

The weather here is awful, hot and humid. Mum and I are in a war over the AC with me turning it Dow and her up. I can't stand high humidity.
Got some Ben and Jerry's in the freezer and the ad in the paper has it on sale. So getting more tho I'm in the mood for orange sherbet.
Meat packing companies are responsible for high numbers here. They tried to cover it up but it came out. It was obvious cause this is a rural area and suddenly we have hundreds of cases. Two counties over though it was the college students hitting the bars that pushed their numbers up. Fortunately no long terms homes have been affected in my county, knock on wood.
