[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three-quarters of the US population -- 250 million people -- live on three percent of US land. What could go wrong?[/quote]

Ummm I don't know - why don't you tell us?

Your attempt at being clever is absurd though - even in populous states like NY and TX most of the population lives on a small percentage of the land and there are many large states with tiny populations so your stat really doesn't say much of anything.

In any case I'll check back in a couple of weeks when Covid-19 is tearing through rural parts of the US and see if the knucklehead or two on this thread who think they've stumbled on a clever argument against density are still here making the same dumb arguments.[/quote]

“Density is really an enemy in a situation like this,” said Dr. Steven Goodman, an epidemiologist at Stanford University. “With large population centers, where people are interacting with more people all the time, that’s where it’s going to spread the fastest.”
