[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really looking forwarding to revisiting this thread in a month when Covid19 is ripping through and devastating rural communities in this country where the average person is in poorer health and the health care system is far less  robust and flexible than it is in most urban areas.

Or coming back in 2 weeks when Covid19 is spreading like wildfire in sprawling and suburban LA.

Or posting all the articles about the wealthy who have fled cities in the Northeast to avoid this debacle but then find themselves in wealthy enclaves in FL that suddenly are overwhelmed but then they are stuck when they try to get back to the urban area they fled that has superior health care services and doctors.

This nightmare is going to force our society to revisit a lot of the ways we do and fund things in this country but nothing that has been posted on here from a couple of disgruntled & insecure NIMBYS from wealthy Ward 3 spouting non-sense while hiding in their expensive homes all day offers even a narrative argument for why this virus is going to be the end of urbanism globally or locally.

I am not looking forward to this happening. But yes, I'm afraid that it's going to happen in rural areas, where people are sicker and older, and there are far fewer hospitals and health care providers.

In fact, it's already happening: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/03/31/highest-rate-of-covid19-cases-in-state-isnt-metro-its-in-one-southern-minnesota-county[/quote]
