Our county has less than 100 cases, but nearly everyone here works in Linn or Johnson counties (Cedar Rapids/Iowa City).

We're surrounded by places with more cases.

My middle son was a senior this year. He missed everything. His last performance in the school musical, Jazz Championships that they qualified for for the third time ever in our school's history, prom, etc.

Sorry for your graduate too. It sucks, but they'll all be able to tell the story when they are older! At least that's what I tell my kid.
