I was wondering why Green Bay was so impacted by COVID-19 and it seems like it's always same thing.

Seems like they better than a majority of areas until they opened up the schools until 2 weeks ago. Green Bay has a huge illegal alien population, very high poverty, very high percentage of the population is under 19.

Turns out, Green Bay which has a huge amount of COVID-19 right now has a massive illegal alien population with ICE constantly doing raids, it has very high poverty and very high birth rates also which is a COVID-19 recipe for an outbreak.

Crowded schools and crowded households are recipe for COVID-19.

Green Bay is in the situation it's in because it's up until 2 weeks ago they had a tremendous amount of poor families, many of which are recent arrivals from Latin America who have a massive amount of children they can't afford crowding into small homes.

Large illegal alien or recent immigrant arrival population from a poor country that has tremendous amounts of children couped up in small homes and then going to schools crowded with other families who live in a similar lifestyle.

According to what I have read. Green Bay has a lot of service type jobs. Those are they types of jobs that illegal aliens take. Illegal aliens are all over the country now including the colder states.

"Major Industries and Commercial Activity. Green Bay's economy is highly diversified. The majority of jobs in the area are service providing—following sectors are goods producing; trade, transportation, and utilities; manufacturing; and government".

Green Bay (Brown Co) was high relative to similar areas of the state all summer long. Brown county has tapered off a bit, but it is notw raging around Appleton and in the lower Fox Valley. My aunt lives in that area and was just hospitalized with covid. She is gravely ill and not expected to make it. She is not an illegal. The common thread in this area is people of a particular political persuasion who refuse to wear masks, social distance or avoid the bars and restaurants and a Republican packed court that has taken away the ability of public health officials to do anything to slow the spread.

Arizona proved this summer that masks and targeted closures can contain the virus (CDC study). But in AZ, now we have gone from 90% compliance to 70% and the cases and hospitalizations are rising again. This really is not rocket surgery.

Do you live in Green Bay or have you even spent more than a couple of days there recently?

I live 60 miles north of Green Bay and lived in a fairly cheap motel for two weeks* this past July while waiting for our home to be completed, and in my opinion, you are painting a very misleading picture. (We go to Green Bay about once a month to shop for things we can't find closer to us.)

Yes, Green Bay is VERY working class and many might say it is even poor, or at least leaning that way. However, the homes, even though most are small and at least 50 years old, are VERY well kept (at least compared to most similar homes in SoCal and Denver). The streets are well-kept, there is not a prevalence of graffiti (in fact, I can remember only seeing one wall that had it), and I never heard even one person speaking anything but English. So, although I am sure that there are people from other countries living in Green Bay, I have no idea how many of them are here illegally, but they are not typical of those immigrants who are so very prevalent in Denver and SoCal.

Btw, going by the census link you posted, 15% of are Hispanic/Latino origin and 18% speak a language other than English at home. That compares to 49% and 56% for Los Angles County, respectively, and 30% and 27% for Denver, respectively.
