Things aren't that much better in Iowa, though I live in Iowa City, the most vaccinated city in the state, though students are coming back to the University of Iowa this week to spread whatever it is they've been getting in their small towns around the state. And our university won't mandate masks. Hell, even as a faculty member, I'm disallowed to even suggest that students should be vaccinated. If I'm asked, I'm supposed to defer the question. I may tell them that I'm vaccinated, but only if asked.

Oy.

FWIW, Lake City, Florida has a population about the same as Iowa City — 70,000. Iowa City is the fifth-largest city in the state, not a small town. If Lake City were in Nebraska, it would be the third-largest city in the state. Lake City would be the largest city in Wyoming.
