Over here, it's whooping cough that's the Big Killer this year. "The greatest outbreak in 12 years!".

Plus state radio telling people not to bring their newborns or small children, if visiting someone who's sick.

We are seeing more and more masks here in S Utah County. Oddly, many are Asians.

Oh, I've been seeing groups of Asians all summer here, most of whom didn't wear masks (some did, on the sidewalks: morons).
