Excerpt from above, sounds like from an article describing "Trump country" from a couple years ago:

A cluster of three counties in rural Indiana have surging rates of confirmed cases. One of them, Decatur, population 26,000, has 30 cases with one confirmed death and another suspected, said Sean Durbin, the county’s public health emergency preparedness coordinator. Several cases were traced to large gatherings earlier in the month, including a religious retreat and a high school basketball tournament.

one particularly tough NYPD guy who made it back from the brink:

Over the decades, a lot of people and now, things, have tried to kill NYPD Deputy Commish John Miller. I’m overjoyed none have been successful. Very glad to hear he’s out of the hospital. Wishing for a speedy recovery from covid.

The Defense Department quite possibly has a new, largest outbreak of the coronavirus on its hands, with the infection of dozens of people at the Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island.https://t.co/oMXVqj6iTa
