Out: high density urban living where the last pandemic spread like crazy and the next one will too.

In: living exurban or rural on a big piece of property and working from home. [/quote]

This is just nonsense. During the pandemic, Montana had the highest death rate for a couple of months. I wondered how people could get covid when your nearest neighbor was miles away.[/quote]
Nice “urban” legend. [/quote]

Just google monthly stats 2020-2021 instead of being lazy.[/quote]

From the CDC's site, for 2020, Montana was #30 by age-adjusted death rate among states.  It jumped to #20 by age-adjusted death rate for 2021.

However, SD and ND were both right after NJ and NY in 2020 (MS was just ahead of ND which was #5, but SD was #3).  And then in 2021 the top was #1 OK and #6 WY which are all pretty empty.  So your point may still stand.  However... the huge spikes in those states were in December 2020 and then again in December 2021 - so holiday spread.  Compare that to NY which got hit *hard* and early (highest death rate there was in March and April 2020). Also, Native American populations in these more empty states exist and were hit really hard.

So yeah, I don't think either of you are right here.  Urban vs. rural doesn't matter.  Preparedness at the hospitals aand mitigations to stop the spread sure as hell did.[/quote]
