Wisconsin's 'Herd Immunity' festival is scientific proof that there's no cure for idiot

It’s almost impressive that with everything 2020 has thrown at us so far, it still seems to have limitless reserves of curveballs – curveballs which comprise a squashed together amalgam of idiocy and human excrement – to lob at us from various directions, all of them hitting us squarely in the face. This is, I think, a fitting description of the so-called ‘Herd Immunity’ festival, held in Ringle, Wisconsin this weekend.

There’s a strong argument that we as a species deserve it – if you go for a dance in no-man’s land wearing a fluorescent jump suit and singing ‘tra-l’la-l’la, you can’t get me!’, then you shouldn’t be surprised if you get pelted with life threatening projectiles from multiple directions. There are still plenty of people who are willing to die on the hill of stupid, and, at time of writing, there is no known cure for this.

One particular country that seems to have leant into the kamikaze philosophy, is outgoing world superpower the United States. Not only has their richest state (California) just been forced back into lockdown, but their President – an overfilled colostomy bag wearing a red tie – has only just started to wear a face mask, though according to the man himself (and I use the term ‘man’ loosely), he’s always worn a face mask… in fact, he invented them.

For a nation that’s still probably somewhere near the peak of the outbreak, the US is in a mad rush to open up again quickly – well, never really properly shut down. It’s only fitting then, that it is in this country – the petri dish of the free – that almost every stupid move that led them to being number one in the world for Covid-related deaths (does Trump think he’s winning something?) should be brought together in one big celebration. And guys, it’s actually happening – the Wisconsin shindig kicked off yesterday.
