was the second worst- following the early NE cluster.
The late summer Dakotas-Iowa cluster was quite possibly seeded by the actions of The Third Filly of The Apocalypse- Princess Pestilence- via Sturgis.
But anyway, after raging for a couple months it did sort of burn itself out without a great deal of intervention. Enough people merely figured out it was real and changed their behavior.
MN was similarly situated but took action. It was relatively hard hit, but appreciably less.
If you need to see people dying with your own eyes rather than have the durn gubmint tell you, OK.
