In large part due to 2-3 generations of families living together in arguably substandard housing units. The wind river reservation in Wyoming has the most cases/deaths in the state
Not passing judgement and of course it will continue to spread. Still the denser the area, the closer contact people have the more it spreads.
You know it really dosent matter how many gas stations or grocery stores an area has. That number will be based on the population, so you will have as many in the walmart in a large city as you will in the walmart in a rural area. That is where the social distancing come in.
This has been around since what January/February and still densely populated areas, prisons, nursing homes are the hardest hit. Do you have an example of a rural area that has been overwhelmed with corona virus? Or is that projection.
Hall county,Nebraska. The employees at the meatpacking plants work and live on top of each other.
According to the CDC’s latest report, the chief risks to meatpackers come from being in prolonged close proximity to other workers. A thousand people might work a single eight-hour shift, standing shoulder to shoulder as carcasses whiz by on hooks or conveyor belts. Often, workers get only a second or two to complete their task before the next hunk of meat arrives. The frenzied pace and grueling physical demands of breaking down so many dead animals can make people breathe hard and have difficulty keeping masks properly positioned on their faces. To allow for social distancing, the agency recommended that meat processors slow down production lines to require fewer workers, and that they stagger shifts to limit the number of employees in a facility at one time.
The only time living and commuting conditions get any coverage is when a Democrat brings it up:

So a couple isolated cases of high density and unclean conditions.
So we got 2 out of 97% of us land area.
I'm scared now.
I felt safer in my small, rural town long before coronavirus came along. We've had only 5 cases in the county I live in. About 10,000 in the entire county. Plus, I don't go out much anymore.
We've had a few cases here, and even fewer in the area north. Plus add on the riots and strife, so happy we picked a small town, far from a large city.
I think it's extremely naive to believe that just because we live in a small town we are somehow going to be insulated and safe from social unrest.
The longer lawlessness is allowed to go on, the farther out it will spread from the cities.
That may be true, however, I think it's safe to say that as the population decreases and spreads out, the probability of coming across someone that has personal protection increases (not to mention the quantity and size of that personal protection), since law enforcement may not be able to handle as much or get there in time.
This may make lawlessness a bit more challenging.
I am a law-abiding person - and there are roads, driveways, yards, and houses that I am quite insecure about entering unless I am personally invited and the host is present and I've called beforehand. Not necessarily all three, or that often, but there have been times. Especially in the hills or farmland where you can't see neighbors and 1-5 shots would easily be ignored.
Correction - Instead of insecure, I meant cautious. I had a brain fart while typing.
