Seems like a simple enough question to resolve once and for all.
cant read the entire article but it appears that its not saying the virus isnt from a lab but is just not agreeing with this one scientist's theory of proof

If I said this, I'd get ravaged.

I think rural folks in Sweden are culturally different from rural folks in say south Georgia.

rural folks have a different mindset

more independant

less likely to wear a mask

more likely to take their chances and go out to a football game

less likely to be snowflakes 

more likely to drive pickups and have a larger carbon foot print

regardless of their country or state

It's the "snowflakes" driving ya'll to the hospital after some of those instances.  You know, the people who do the risk-reward math and don't ALWAYS shrug and say, "fugg it."

Living in the city made me understand how dependent I am now on "infrastructure".  I've spent time in the country when I was a kid and they basically managed on their on for most everything.  They did have TVA electricity.  The REA was a pretty large thing in the country.

That is one thing that kicks your life from the Middle Ages to near modernity.

Most folks who contract COVID don't need a hospital obviously.  I can understand the mindset of an independently minded rural person who is younger and healthy being somewhat fatalistic about it.  They often get dinged up a bit doing manual labor and try and keep going, like athletes.

Well, that escalated quickly. I need to be brought into the surgery suite Thursday to remove some stitches that haven't worked themselves out, and part of that involved getting swabbed for the COVID.

Also, I'm expecting to see a severe outbreak of COVID on campus at the end of next week.

I guess the good news is that the outbreak in Madison appears to have burned itself out.
