A lady in Fremont, Nebraska tested positive for COVID-19 after attending the Special fucking Olympics and a VFW dinner, showing all the symptoms you'd expect, and thinking "Yeah, it's totally fine for me to go hang out with these vulnerable citizens!"

Nebraskans have a placid attitude about this whole infection, trusting our biocontainment unit to contain, and assuming that this is just a "coastal" problem. As far as I'm concerned, though, it's not a question of whether this lady infected anyone outside her family, it's how many, and we won't know that until it's too late.

Her family is sick now, too.

We're not fucking prepared for this.
