Yes, people who won't do as they're told and stay home...keep visiting family, cousins, grandparents...hugging, kissing, close talking, breathing the aerosol virus all over each other etc.
50 people piled into a house after a family tragedy...20 or so caught Covid delta, the matriarch of the family aged 80 is now dead.
