and I remember when it first got reported they said the family had traveled to one of the outbreak counties in West Texas—maybe even had ties to the Mennonite community there.

What they did not report, but I wondered, was whether they had traveled there deliberately, like a modern day measles party. Apparently that is happening in some circles in the outbreak counties.
