This kind of thing in various ski resort area accounts for much of the spread in Scandinavian countries, where it's been the more privileged end of the demographic spectrum that has been bringing this back and spreading it around -- including as community spread. And then when back home, they are back to the super-socializing among their peer-group. And guess what happens next: ordering high-schools and universities to shut-down without getting their attendees to also commit to other social distancing measures. Not a recipe to spare their grandparents -- or even their parents -- from the risks of this .

It will be interesting to see what Passover/Easter-related socializing will mean for the more vulnerable.
