(45,418 posts)21. Rural America is not safe
They are making a very dangerous mistake to assume they will be spared. They're the ones who visit each other, go to schools and churches, Trump rallies, sporting events at the local level, summer picnics and barbecues, and so much more. Rural American love to get together.
City people may be crowded together on trains and buses but won't be actively shaking hands and hugging each other like people do at social events. There's a reason why the churches and schools got it first here in DC and many other cities. A choir group in rural Washington state got it hard when none of them showed any symptoms. Florida and Louisiana got it in rural areas.
