I just heard that two of the guys I go fishing with Alaska contracted COVID


on a recent turkey hunting trip to South Dakota. I haven't seen them in a while but be keep in touch. One noticed that he had lost his sense of smell after he got back. Another transmitted it to his wife and both had symptoms and still are dragging around the house after a couple of weeks. I've known these guys for years and they aren't dumbasses, but both are huge Republican donors and supporters and neither have taken this pandemic particularly seriously. Up to the last minute they were talking about how we needed to get up to Alaska this year and fish. Only the quarantine requirements up there kept them in check IMO.

Yet here they are. 7 of 11 people on the trip were positive, their own little super spreader event. I just don't get it. Was it worth going to one of the states with the highest coronavirus infection rates to shoot turkeys? I believe they are second-guessing even as they mourn Trump's loss.
