God Himself only knows how many undiagnosed cases there are in Detroit.

For those who don't know, Highland Park is a poor enclave surrounded by Detroit. In its glory days, it was the headquarters of Chrysler and a wealthy place, indeed.

Those glory days are generations past, and Highland Park is struggling to pay for basic services now.

Mayor Duggan said that 27 percent of Detroiters who qualified for testing in early May tested positive.

Testing is still by no means available by demand, so there are likely thousands of people who had/have the disease in the City.

But several weeks after warning about the dangers of protests as spreader events, the Governor just marched in a location that is ill-equipped to handle an outbreak.

So much for that whole social distancing thing, I guess.

Yes, there are masks. But everybody? And with crowds? And the giving of speeches, and cheering responses...?

We will see how much sunlight and heat tamp down on the spread. But there is some unnerving data coming out of the Minnesota National Guard relating to the protests there.
