All I could think of is how massively dangerous that is. People in what would be deemed high risk areas could decide to hightail it to a low risk area. It could potentially make things so much worse on so many levels. There are enough crazies that would attack someone, not to mention spreading the virus even more.
I'm losing count how many shitty ideas that buffoon gets in his head on a daily basis.

People running from illness have always spread it. But you are right--he's only going to make it worse

(19,114 posts)The northern half of the state is the sparsely populated Up North. As in, "heading up north for the weekend", cabin country. And everyone has a cabin around here.
It's also very sparse in hospitals and ICU beds, since 2/3 of the state population is in the Twin Cities metro area.
If a sizeable portion of cabin owners decide to take an extended vacation up north to avoid the pandemic, the few hospitals there will be swamped.
