Relatively unscathed....so far. The virus doesn't care if you are Democrat or Republican, city dweller or rural. If you mix with people who have it, you will get it, and if your local medical facilities are few and unsophisticated, you could die. You could die anyway. Open everything up without masks, and you WILL have an outbreak. Maybe we can get to a second hundred thousand dead.
The new case count does not depend on your zip code. The virus is exactly the same. The shape of the curve is exactly the same when people don't maintain distance and wear masks. If you think you are invulnerable because of your rural location, you are going to be sadly disappointed. Many of the major outbreaks currently are in rural locations that thought it wouldn't come there. The whole US numbers look like they are going down, but that's mostly New York. If you remove New York, the numbers are still going up.
