1. I have roots to Gove County, more from the article.........

President Donald Trump is popular in the county, and local officials quickly abandoned a mask mandate this summer after getting heat from some local residents and amid the president's criticism of such policies.
The county commission imposed a mask mandate starting Aug. 6, when only a handful of cases had been reported, but repealed it 11 days later. Rempel said it was “heartbreaking, from a public health perspective.”
Doug Gruenbacher, another Gove County doctor, contracted the coronavirus in September and recovered along with his physician-wife, Shelly. He said county residents have concerns about personal liberties and “not wanting to be told what to do” prevalent across rural America.

“That's part of the reason of why we love it here, because of that spirit and because of that independence,” he said. “But unfortunately, it's something that also contributes to some of the difficulties that we're having right now.”
